Unable to ping DNS name through VPN

Hi,

 

We have a SSL-VPn tunnel set up that we use Forticlient to access our company network through.

We have an issue with DNS however. We cannot ping the DNS name Server for instance.

We can ping server.domain.local though.

 

If i run nslookup while connected, i get the reply from the DNSserver on our company network, but it still cannot resolve the name Server.

 

What am I doing wrong?

    Did you configured internal DNS server on your SSL VPN setting ?

    Yes, the company-network DNS is configured as DNS-server for the VPN users.
