Actually, things weren't as bad as I thought - that "--up" script does seem to work after all!
My mistake (I did say I was a Mac novice!) was that I *assumed* "nslookup srv.corporate.domain" would work - well it didn't. What I didn't check was that "ping srv.corporate.domain" does work :-) i.e it looks like the Mac's resolver library (which most apps would use) does point particular DNS queries at the internal-over-openvpn DNS servers after all. It's just that pure DNS tools like nslookup cannot make use of it So it looks like it works to me? Jonathan, you should take another look at that script and confirm/deny? PS: Ubuntu's insistence on using dnsmasq and always making the DNS server 127.0.0.1 totally solves this problem 100% of the time for all applications - why can't the OSes be as smart :-) On 04/09/14 01:05, Jonathan K.
