[Openswan Users] Automatic DNS?

[Dan Meiron]

I have been able to connect my laptop running Openswan under Suse with a 
Linksys RV0041 box. Took a little work (in particular you have to do this 
with aggressive mode which the Suse rpm does not support so had to recompile) 
but I can now connect to the clients behind the router as long as I use their 
numeric IP address.

So this brings me to my (perhaps stupid) question. Is there a way to tell 
Openswan to use the built-in DNS server on the Linksys when the tunnel comes 
up?

Do I do this statically by putting in the Linksys  DNS address (it would be 
the gateway address on the private side (10.128.205.1)  in resolv.conf or is 
there a better way which provides this information and then removes it when 
the tunnel is torn down?

I ask this because for example the Green Bow VPN client has an entry for this 
information and so on Windows can provide the information when the tunnel is 
created.

Apologies is this is obvious - 

thanks, Dan
