Hi,

I've been looking a problem with SecureRemote where DNS is not encrypting
(which puzzles me since I can think of no reason any sysadmin would want
their entire internal DNS internet visible !)

Tech stuff

        FW -  NT4, SP6a, CP2000 4.1 SP1 +hotfix (build 41603)
        Client NT4, SP6a, SR build 4157
        Encryption rule is using FWZ encryption.

Client encryption rule
        SRUsers Any     Any     Client Encrypt

I can dial-up, authenticate and do everything except DNS queries (which show
as unencrypted in a packet trace on the workstation)

The CP2000 VPN book includes a section on encrypting DNS and I've done the
dnsinfo.c, userc.c updates etc, however the crypt.def update does not in any
way match the code that is already there. - there is an "#ifdef
SECUREREMOTE" code block that appears in the existing curly brace section.

Question : Is the CP2000 book wrong or does the existing code get removed,
added before, after, etc  (Seeing a couple of surrounding lines in the
printed code extract would be handy !

Question - Checkpoint -- WHY would I not want to encrypt internal DNS
queries like the rest of my traffic ?-- after all my rules base that I want
to download says "Remote -> Any for Any" -- not "Remote -> Any for anything
but DNS"

Anyone seen this or better still know of a fix ?

Cheers

Tim
