I send my clients a `domain-search' option via DHCP. First domain from
that list is used by Windows as a `Connection-specific DNS Suffix'. This
does the trick. Windows uses this connection to query for names within
domain of a `Connection-specific DNS Suffix' even if a PC is in Active
Directory domain.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to do that from a windows
perspective, however the workaround that I've used (that has some
advantages of its own) is to run the bind dns server locally on my
windows client machine, configured as a resolver for localhost only,
and configured with forward zones for specific domains. It ends up
working fairly well.

Hello,
this is not exactly a OpenVPN problem.
I connect via VPN to a network (own subnet). There is a DNS server
serving hosts of some (specific) domains in this subnet.
Problem is how to keep the locally configured DNS, but tell the
system to ask the DNS behind the VPN tunnel when it requests hosts
from the (known) domains of this DNS server.
For example:
Lookup of google.com <http://google.com> -> ask preconfigured DNS
Lookup of *.local.dom -> ask DNS behind VPN tunnel (local.dom is
managed by him)
As far as I know I can only replace the configured DNS server by
adding the line
push "dhcp-option DNS a.b.c.d"
but I would like to have something like
push "dhcp-option DNS local.dom a.b.c.d"
telling that all lookups of local.dom should be directed to a.b.c.d.
I don't know whether this is possible as such.
Local host is Windows 7
VPN server is Linux
Regards
Petric
