Use DNS Server for
This setting determines the scope of the remote DNS server(s). It is possible to
use the remote DNS server(s) for all DNS lookups, or just for hosts in a specific
domain.
All Domains
While the VPN is connected, the remote DNS server is used for every DNS
lookup on this Mac, not just hosts that are part of the remote network.
When using this option, it is important to make sure the VPN
connection and the remote DNS server are correctly configured:
If one or both are not working, the Mac will appear to be cut off
from the Internet while the VPN is active.
Search Domains
The remote DNS server is used only for looking up host names that are part of
the search domain(s). At least one search domain must be configured.
“Receive DNS Settings from VPN gateway” only: If the VPN gateway transmits a
search domain, the remote DNS server is used only for looking up host names
that are part of the search domain(s). If no search domain is transmitted, the
remote DNS server is used for every DNS lookup on this Mac while the VPN is
connected.
