[FW-1] SecuRemote and DNS

[Muthuraja Ayyanar <mayyanar@FW1-NOSPAMNUI.COM>]

Hi All ,

I would like to know how to make a SecuRemote client to use internal DNS
server for resolving domain names of the resources inside the encryption
domain and use the ISP's DNS for resolving Intername Domain names.Since the
topology information SecuRemote downloads is basd on IP numbers,
(application will be able to make use of the SecuRemote VPN only if the
application knows the IP number of the resource) let's say an applications
needing to resolve say a server whose domain name is www.mycompany.com which
is in the inside network or part of encryption domain  how will the traffic
will be encrypted if the name can't be resolved to the IP address.

Also we can take MS Outlook as an example , let's say i have a MS Exchange
server inside of my network and my encryption domain encompasses the MS
exchange server and when i connect to my CP VPN-1 server usng SecuRemote
using an ISP i get the topology of the enc domain, but how will my outlook
client will be able to get to my mailstore if the server name can't be
resolved.

I don't know if hosts file is the only option.

Appreciate your thoughts on this issue,

Muthu
