Re: The state of resolv.conf

I'm already pushing DNS .. I don't believe it works on Linux clients though!
Take a look at the kind of hacks needed: http://www.phocean.net/?p=12

You should be able to push DHCP options from the OpenVPN server:

http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/howto.html#dhcp

push "dhcp-option DNS 10.66.0.4"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.66.0.5"

The client OS shouldn't matter, it should be picking up the DHCP
options when the OpenVPN client brings up the interface when it comes
up.
