(note : local= is synonymous to server=)

This one means *example.com should be resolved by reading /etc/hosts
or the DHCP lease info.

> local=/vpn.example.com/
> server=/vpn.example.com/10.0.0.140

Those two are contradictory since they specify the same domain. What
happens then, I don't know, but f the first line wins, then
*vpn.example.com will be resolved using /etc/hosts or DHCP leases, and
therefore will fail.

> server=/0.100.10.in-addr.arpa/10.0.0.140

This one should forward reverse resolutions for 10.100.0.* to the VPN
server. I believe you have not shown results of a reverse resolution,
be it to 10.0.0.* or 10.100.0.*.

Amicalement,
