When I connect to the LAN (wired or WiFi) the default domain is written
into resolv.conf so unqualified local hostnames work - all as expected.
But this doesn't happen when connecting to the same LAN over a VPN (pptp).
I still get the same machine as DNS server and default gateway, but no
default domain name. As a result, things that are set up and work on the
LAN don't work over a VPN, unless they are all reconfigured to use FQDN
host names - which is a PITA.
Using a Windows client to the same VPN allows unqualified names. I realise
that Windows uses netbios lookup for most stuff, but even explicit DNS
lookup of unqualified names works OK in Windows, so I don't think it's the
PPTP server.
Is this a bug in NM, or am I missing a piece of the jigsaw somewhere?
