You can use remote DNS - here's how
Authored by: MorganizeIT on Sep 30, '05 05:33:31PM
This works perfectly! I no longer have to choose between *either* using static IPs for all the machines on the VPN *or* routing all my traffic through the VPN connection. On another note, I've also added a line to the ip-up script to lower the mtu for pptp connections. I'm hoping this will cure the instability of smb shares and remote desktop over the vpn:
ifconfig ppp0 mtu 700
700 is the mtu size used by DigiTunnel (a third party VPN client) so I figure it's a good place to start.

Correction:
ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1200 > /dev/null
