Q: VPN DNS settings; not available in Server.app
In the current VPN settings in Server app there is nothing to specify the DNS servers to be used by the VPN clients; when there used to be in Snow Leopard.
I cannot now VPN into my home server to access the local network AND also browse the internet when I choose SEND ALL TRAFFIC which is what I want to do.
Is there any way of adding in the required settings?
I can successfully vpn into my server with iPad, but cannot use any DNS based things on it. Looking for solution.
Mac OS X (10.7)

Found the solution while poking around.
To check settings:
sudo serveradmin settings vpn
and to fix this...
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:DNS:OfferedServerAddresses:_array_index:0 = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your desired DNS.
For some reason mine had been set as my Airport Express Basestation.
