   The ISP settings wouldn't affect that anyway. All the VPN data goes
through the Internet encrypted and encapsulated, so the ISP only sees the
headers of the outer wrapper.

    To use DNS, make sure that the client gets the correct DNS address and
that it has the correct DNS suffix set in the connection properties (ie the
DNS suffix of the LAN you are connecting to).
