Actually I am struggling with this too. I never had an issue before, but I noticed after going to 1.0 that public DNS is used. I have turned DNS forwarder off, on, set the DNS servers on the General tab to local DNS servers instead of public, and any other combination I can think of... and the only way to resolve hostnames at this point is to set the WINS server manually on the PPTP connection on the client machine. Any help here would be appreciated! -Tim

But when I get connected and try to ping a internal host I get the public IP not the internal. I have the DNS forwarder on and entries for the local hosts. I also confirm that the entries have been made in the hosts file on the pfsense box. I specifically tell the XP client to use pfsense's LAN IP for the it's PPTP DNS server. But when I run nslookups on the XP box after I connect it still uses the local DNS not the PPTP DNS server. What gives? Is there some setting to tell XP to only use the PPTP DNS servers when an active VPN connection is made?
