Which works well until you need to reference your company intranets DNS
servers for access to certain systems.  I have yet to hear of a VPN
solution that lets you query both external and internal DNS servers.

I guess it might be theoretically possible if the VPN client looks at
the domain on the request, but I have not seen one that does this.
