Since 10.0.0.0/8 essentially encompasses all the addresses under any
/16 subnet, you would need to either get creative with your routing
table on the client, or change the subnet in use at one or the other
end of the tunnel.  http://www.subnet-calculator.com/ can be helpful
here.  Ask yourself, "How hard would it be to switch the local
network(s) to a 192.168.x.x setup?"

BTW, /8 is consider a Class A subnet and /16 is considered a Class B.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork).  10.0.0.0/8 is reserved for
private networks and traffic to/from addresses on that subnet are
typically dropped by routers on the wild Internets.
