I have a DNS server that services public names for external IPs and internal names for the intranet. That set-up has been tested and works fine.
Recently, I got the built-in VPN server to work on the N66U - well, at least I can get on the internal subnet. However, the wrong DNS server is being passed through to the client:
N66U: 192.168.11.1 (STOCK FW: 3.0.0.4.260)
DNS server: 192.168.11.3
VPN client: 192.168.11.245
Pinging IPs works fine, but DNS lookups for local machines fail. When I try:
OSX_BOX$ scutil --dns | grep nameserver\[[0-9]*\]
nameserver[0] : 192.168.11.1
nameserver[0] : 192.168.11.1
nameserver[0] : 192.168.11.1
nameserver[0] : 192.168.1.1
So the VPN is designating itself (192.168.11.1) as the DNS server rather than the internal DNS server, 192.168.11.3 that I really want.
VPN Server/VPN Details/Connect to DNS Server automatically = YES
LAN/DHCP Server/Enable DHCP Server = YES
LAN/DHCP Server/RT-N66U's Domain Name = mydomain.com
LAN/DHCP Server/IP Pool Starting Address = 192.168.11.32
LAN/DHCP Server/IP Pool Ending Address = 192.168.11.244
LAN/DHCP Server/Default Gateway = 192.168.11.1
LAN/DHCP Server/DNS Server = 192.168.11.3
How do I tell the VPN Server to pass 192.168.11.3 as the DNS server to VPN Clients?
