this has happened to me with three separate sites so I really need to fix<br>
something. When I connect to a remote site with open VPN, it rewrites<br>
resolv.conf so that it includes a remote DNS server first and then the local<br>
name server. When I query for a remote name, everything works fine. But when I<br>
query for a local name, I get NXDOMAIN. as I see it, my solutions are fairly<br>
limited.<br>
<br>
Is there anything I can do to change the NXDOMAIN response in the remote dnsmasq<br>
instances?<br>
<br>
would it make sense to run a local dnsmasq and filter out the erroneous NXDOMAIN<br>
references from the name servers pointed to by resolv.conf?<br>
<br>
I think this is an important problem because it's going to occur any time you<br>
use open VPN and have both local and remote DNS servers.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help<br>

PS fwiw, I'm already halfway to running dnsmasq locally because of vmware's<br>
whacked DNS and DHCP setup.<br>
