Remote DNS for IPSec Tunnel Not Correct
I can establish a tunnel using the full VPN client to the FVS318N. Routing into the remote private LAN works as expected. However, DNS does not resolve to any of the names in the private LAN. How can I adjust the IPSec policy and/or VPN client settings to get the private LAN's DNS server working? Thanks!

The forum link did help me to understand that I needed to manually configure the remote subnet and DNS parameters in the VPN client, or to use a mode config record to have that information be provided by the router during negotiation.
Thank you!
