We faced this same issue when we first started to use the Gnatbox VPN Client.
The solution that worked for us was to use Netswitcher:

http://www.netswitcher.com/product_info.htm

Using Netswitcher, we were able to setup up a "VPN" profile that changed the
DNS/WINS settings (and other settings if needed) on the mobile client to use
internal DNS/WINS servers.  Internal host names could then be resolved
successfully while connected to the internal network via VPN.  After a user was
finished, they could toggle back to their original settings without rebooting.
It was worth the $14.00 per client price to have this functionality.

We have since graduated to a Cisco 3015 VPN Concentrator with a Cisco-provided
VPN client that switches the DNS settings automatically when connected.
