Re: [Openvpn-users] Giving VPN Clients fixed IP addresses

[Aaron Randall <aaron.randall@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Phil thats great, I've got it working with fixed IP addresses now 
  :)

My next question is I am using "push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.80"" to 
set the dns, which works fine.  I also want to set the "domain" in my 
clients /etc/resolv.conf, is there a way of doing this?

Many thanks,

Aaron
