You will want to turn on the "Use this connection only for resources not
on this network" option in the Routes... dialog box of your vpn config.

As far as the automatic activation of VPN, I am not sure how to do that,
it might be possible using some custom scripts in /etc/network/if*/*.
I've used an if-up.d script to disable the wireless radio and interface
if a wired connection is detected, for instance.
