Hello Charles, Your response is quite sufficient. I have not gone to the details of FreeS/WAN docs yet. All I know is that it is dependent on a DNS server, specificly the standard linux DNS server which is Bind. All I wanted to know is if the tinydns package is enough to work with FreeS/WAN. And you said yes. Hence, excellent! And thanks!
