      Im having an issue using IpSec on macs where if I send a list in Split DNS like

      internal.company.com company.com test.company.com LEAVEMEHERE

      The last entry always seem to have a p^A appended to the end and it breaks using our DNS for that domain.

      output from  "scutil –dns"

      DNS configuration

      resolver #1
        search domain[0] : internal.company.com
        search domain[1] : company.com
        search domain[2] : test.company.com
        search domain[3] : LEAVEMEHEREp^A
        search domain[4] : home
        nameserver[0] : 192.168.1.254
        if_index : 4 (en0)
        flags    : Request A records, Request AAAA records
        reach    : Reachable, Directly Reachable Address

      I had to add the LEAVEMEHERE entry so it breaks that instead of one I care about.

      Don't have any issue using shrewsoft on windows with this though. any ideas if this is a mac bug or strongswan ?

        Had a look at the file /usr/local/etc/strongswan.conf using

        grep "28675" strongswan.conf | hexdump -C

        and it looks like it just puts a newline at the end of the line so can't imagine this is a pfsense bug.

        00000040  4c 45 41 56 45 4d 45 48  45 52 45 0a              |LEAVEMEHERE.|
        0000004c

        Any suggestions to try and work out where the bug is ?
