 Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2003 6:44 pm Post subject: VPN client DNS registration |
 |
|
Hello group,
I have a PIX 515E serving as VPN server for my VPN clients. The clients get
their IP addresses from a pool configured on the PIX. But the internal DNS
server is completely unaware of these remote machines that causes
applications that require FQDN of the machines fail to work for VPN clients.
Has anybody got any suggestions or any solution that worked?
I appreciate any help or comments.
Best regards
Atif |

Hello Atif,
If not already done so, try to make your internal DNS server
"authoritative" for the address range used by the VPN clients. This is
probably a private IP range? Applications querying the local DNS
server will then be able to lookup the reverse for each IP used by the
VPN clients. For tailored advice, more info on your exact
configuration will be necessary, I think...

I had something similar, but had two different issues. The first was to
insure the client PC's had the domain name suffix to be appended in the
client network properties. The other issue we had was kindof DNS/VPN
intertwined in that we had the DNS server on another subnet which we
initially didn't have routes to. So either we had to add static routes to
this subnet or use the "redistribute route function" on our routers.
