[clug-talk] VPN name resolution question

[Shawn]

Royce's question regarding name resolution triggered a neuron for me...

When I establish a VPN connection to a remote network, I need name 
resolution to work for servers there.  At the moment the only way to do 
this seems to be to change my /etc/resolv.conf file to use their 
nameserver.  But that means that all name requests are now going through 
their network - even for things that have nothing to do with their network.

I have set up a script to establish the VPN connection, backup my 
resolv.conf file and replace it with one that has the remote name 
server.  But there's probably a better way.

Any tips?
