VPN Clients DNS Issue

Hi All,

I am having an annoying issue with my VPN clients. I have our webmail
configured to resolve from both external and internal clients.
https://webmail.domain.com. Internally it resolves to a 192.168.8.103 IP
address and externally it resolves to a 74.x.x.x address. The problem is
when my VPN clients remote in for some reason they are not using our local
DNS and they are resolving to our external DNS IP. Our firebox isn't
letting local traffic access a WAN IP address so the users are getting a
request timed out. How can I force a remote user to use a local DNS server
when remoted in?

Thanks,

Dave
