Re: VPN and Active Directory DNS

The remote users do connect with their own routers. There is not a conflict
with IP schemes since we have the internal network set to an unusual scope.
(10.1.0.x)
I've tried it myself from a handful of different locations. It seems to
have something to do with the fact that when the machine is part of the
domain it won't communicate with the server over the connection. When it's
just a standard machine not part of the domain it seems to work fine.
