The Client Settings Tab is used to define the client configuration parameters
required to communicate with the remote Client Gateway.
WINS / DNS
When a remote gateway is configured to support the Configuration Transaction
Exchange, it should be able to provide valid client DNS and WINS settings
automatically. If not, uncheck the corresponding Obtain Automatically option for
the DNS or WINS options and and enter valid DNS Server Address, DNS Suffix
or WINS Server Address values for this site configuration. If specific DNS or
WINS settings are not required for this site configuration, simply uncheck the Enable DNS or Enable WINS option.
Please be aware that if the Enable DNS or Enable WINS options are used, a
security policy may be required to communicate with these servers via the tunnel.
Split DNS
Enable Split DNS support if you would like to selectively send DNS requests to a
tunnel specific DNS server. When this option is enabled, a client will inspect all
DNS requests and compare them to a list of DNS domain name suffixes. If the
request matches one of these domain name suffixes, the request is forwarded to
the tunnel specific DNS server. Otherwise, the request is forwarded to a DNS
server that is configured for your local network adapter.
When a remote gateway is configured to support the Configuration Transaction
Exchange, it should be able to provide a valid list of DNS domain suffixes that
should be resolved using the tunnel specific DNS server. If not, uncheck the
corresponding Obtain Automatically option for Split DNS and enter a list of DNS
domain suffixes manually.
