5 255.0.0.0/8 is special and 0.0.0.0/0 is very special.
6
7 255/8 is not globally routed and contains 255.255.255.255 which is used
8 as a broadcast address.

12 0/0 is functionally equivalent to the default gateway.

24 It sounds like you also need to route 10/8 in addition to the
25 aforementioned prefixes.
26
27 I find it suspect that "b" doesn't work. I wonder if it's related to
28 the DNS server that you're querying, specifically if it's internal /
29 external and if it's routed through the VPN too.
