I have a windows 2003 domain. When the users vpn in from the field they cannot resolve the computers on the local network. How can I set it so when the vpn is up they are using the local dns server?

Name resolution Issue in VPN

To assing the DNS and WINS to a VPN client for name resolution, you should confiure VPN server with the IP addresses of the appropriate DNS and WINS servers. The VPN client inherits the DNS and WINS configured on the VPN server. If name resolution does not work from the VPN server, it will not work for VPN clients.

The VPN server leases the ip address from the dhcp server. Routing and Remote access won't issue a dns server for the vpn connection. Any other ideas?
