Okay I have my VPN setup nearly perfectly. When I login (on a computer that is not domain authenticated) I can do everything I want. DNS does lookups correctly such as DSM2 = 10.10.8.10…ect. However when I login to a computer that is on our domain and use the VPN when I try to resolve DSM1 it points to our outside address and I cannot use any DNS related stuff on the VPN. I can however connect via ip address (which is very un-usefull while using sharepoint).
Here are some results to my nslookup queries (from a coffee shop, VPNed to our network on the domain laptop – asdf.com is arbritary)
>nslookup
Address: 192.168.0.200
>dsm2
Server: dslmodem.domain.actdsltmp
Address: 192.168.0.200
Non-authorative answer:

>server 10.10.8.2
DNS request timed out timeout was 2 seconds
Default Server: 10.10.8.2
Address: 10.10.8.2
>dsm2
Server: [10.10.8.2]
Address: 10.10.8.2
Name: dsm2.asdf.com
Address: 10.10.8.10

Therefore when I FORCE the DNS to look at my internal DNS it works, however when it’s setup as default it tries to send DSM1 out the DNS of the coffee shop and it points to my outside address. Why is it not going out of my DNS of the PPP connection for VPN stuff instead?
