Hey everyone.

When I was using 10.5.x, I used a manual entry for a DNS server on my remote office network so that I could bypass DNS services at several of our client sites.

Basically, I have an OpenVPN connection back to my office. In 10.5.x, I went into my Network settings screen and manually added the DNS server address for my office's DNS server. The nice thing with 10.5 was that if I was connected to a client's network or other network and was not connected to my remote office network, the machine would ignore the setting for my remote office's DNS server and use whatever DNS server address the local network provided. Likewise, once I established a connection to my remote office, it would begin to route requests through my remote DNS server.

In 10.6.x, if I put in a manual DNS server entry, that is all that it will use. It does not grab the DNS entry for the local network. Thus, I have to keep going in and adding/removing my remote office's DNS server address.

Anyone have any clue how I can resolve this?

Thanks!
Scubes
