[vpn-devel] Shrew OSX VPN Client and DNS.

[Matthew Grooms]

Hi Robert,

I've spent quite a bit of time improving the OSX port lately but still 
haven't found a good solution to the DNS issue. Thanks again for your 
patch submission. It works well for connections that use the existing 
network adapter but it doesn't appear to work with tap adapters at least 
on Mountain Lion. The OS attempts to use the DNS servers but it sends 
name resolution requests via en0 instead of tap0 which won't work.

In any case, I submitted a question to the Apple network development 
mailing list but haven't seen a response yet ...

I'll let you know if I make any more progress. If you have any insight 
or ideas, I'd love to hear them :)

Thanks,

-Matthew
