| Question |
Why IAP tries to handle DNS queries when I have VPN configured? |
| Why am I unable to do DNS lookup for Internal network with VPN configured? |
| Why am I unable to reach internal sites via URL? |
| Environment |
Aruba Instant APs configured with VPN tunnel to Aruba Controller |
With VPN configuration; it's necessary to have "Enterprise Domain Names" configured for DNS queries to be sent to Corporate DNS server. Without this configuration; all DNS queries would be handled by Instant's local DNS server and result in unreachability of internal resources when accessed using fqdn.

Note :: With the split-dns architecture; Aruba Instant AP must get DNS Server IP and should be able to reach the DNS server for external domains name lookup to work.
