   There seems to be a recurring theme regarding non-M$ VPN solutions for M$   
   platforms wrt useful IP configuration items that allow clients to access the   
   remote network in a consistent manner.   
      
   Admittedly I've only evaluated two VPN client packages, Cisco and SafeNet's   
   SoftRemote. Both of them did not allow me to supply DNS servers to be used   
   while   
   connected to the remote network. I tried talking to NetGear support, the guy   
   led   
   me to believe that this is also the case with their VPN Client. Without   
   providing tunnel specific setting I would have to expose our internal DNS   
   services to the Internet so that the clients can obtain this information from   
   the underlying Internet config. Exposing WINS in this manner would probably not   
   be feasible or sensible.   
      
   Can anyone point me in the direction of an IPSec solution that provides a   
   better   
   level of integration/configuration ? At the moment we are using FreeS/WAN as   
   the   
   server, so solutions that are compatible with it are prefered.
