Title: Internal DNS

Give users two DNS servers one internal one external that way if the first fails it will automatically use the second and be transparent to the user.

 

The initial order is up to you.

Subject: [FW1] Internal DNS

I have currently set up a VPN successfully and am capable of gaining secure access to my Intranet through a dial up ISP using SecuRemote.  Where the problem occurs is when I try to access any internal websites through the ISP.  I can only access the internal websites if I enter the IP address of the site (only works for the site; if I try to open a hyperlink I get a "host name" error because of lack of DNSing) or specify a specific internal proxy server under the proxy settings of IE.  I have also created a dnsinfo.C file but it did not resolve the problem.  Basically, what I want to do is to have the users that are trying to connect to internal websites automatically have the dns servers available to them.  I do not want them to continue using the internal DNS servers for accessing "internet" websites.  Please let me know how I can resolve this problem.

Thank You
