Connection specific DNS suffix not assigned to VPN clients acamp 04-08-2006

Hi,

I have a Cisco PIX 515e firewall and have set up a PPTP VPN connection
which works fine, except that the connection specific DNS suffix is not
passed on to the client machines when they connect to the VPN and are
assigned an IP address.

We are using WinXP clients with the standard MS VPN client software.
When I manually enter the DNS suffix into the advanced TCP/IP settings
everything works correctly. Any assistance would be appreciated.

DNS suffix is left blank (shown below)
