Re: RRAS and FQDN ('connection-specific dns suffix' is blank)

Well, if I change some settings with the connection itself, I can add the
domain within the DNS tab of TCP/IP properties so that names are resolved
properly but this doesn't solve the issue with the server not being able
to hand out the domain suffix to the vpn client when the clien logs in.
Normally, this would be done via DHCP but I'm using a static set of IP
addresses for vpn clients. I can't seem to find a location in RRAS to add
a specific suffix that can be handed out to clients so that clients don't
have to go deep into their connections settings and add it themselves.
What a pain!



As you said, normally with DHCP Option 015, you can specify the suffix.
Otherwise, if using static entries, the other config options should be
mirrored from what server's own config, such as if the server has a Primary
DNS Suffix, DNS addresses, etc, they should be provided automatically to the
static RRAS clients.

So how is the server setup?
