Re: DNS question with VPN



I had a similar problem like yours and solved it. The problem was due to
packets destined for your vpn client's address space (in your case from ip
pool 'ippool') are got NATed and they shouldn't, so exclude all packets
destined for 'ippool' range from NAT.

The only problem that I see in your situation is that you have DNS servers
translated with static NAT entries.... IOS routers (12.3 or later I think)
use something called ALG (application layer gateway) and translates dns
payload packets (queries and responses), since this might be useful in NAT
overlap config. This is enabled by default and I don't know how to get rid
of it. So, I simply got a new DNS server which I placed into my DMZ and this
one resolves my public (Internet) dns zone...

But try with modifying NAT config as I explained at the beginning of my post
and if it doesn't work temporary clear static NAT config if possible to see
if this caused your problem...
Let me know the results...
