[plug] dns entry

[simon]

It sounds like you need to consider forwarding the VPN connections through the
gateway... if your internal server doesnt have a public IP then DNS wont help
you. So forward the correct protocols/ports through the gateway to the
internal machine, and from the remote location connect to the gateway's public
IP......

Maybe Ive misunderstood the problem?
