SSL VPN and DNS Resolution

$
0

Running Sophos UTM 9.103-5
Behind firewall am running a Windows Home Server 2011 with DNS role enabled
Windows7x64 client laptop running Sophos x86 open-vpn client 2.0.0.0
Internal network 192.168.10.0/24
SSL VPN Ip Pool: 192.168.100.128/28

I have two SSL tunnel profiles activated on my UTM
One with a gateway and the other local networks defined only

When connected to the profile with gateway network the remote access runs fine with all of my internal network devices (homeserver.myssldomain.com, xbmc.myssldomain.com, zoneminder.myssldomain.com) being resolved to the internal network ip addresses and everything pinging properly to the internal IP's.

When I connected via the split tunnel profile (no internet access across the VPN tunnel), internal name resolution to myssldomain.com ip devices is lost and defaults to the public dns entries for myssldomain.com. I CAN ping all internal IP's so the tunnel works and if I do an NSLOOKUP designating the internal homeserver.myssldomain.com DNS server DNS resolution is correct so the DNS service is not being blocked by any firewalls.

On my Windows7x64 installation, an ipconfig /all shows the following:

Please note that the VPN DNS server is resolving correctly. I am not running in any kind of an Active Directory network at my company (I am beind another Sophos UTM running DHCP and DNS on the UTM). I think this is some kind of an optijon missing on the SSL VPN client.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be helpful.
