      I have a peer to peer site OpenVPN connection "working". That is, I can connect, the connection stays up and I can reach machines on either side of the connection as expected. The ONLY thing that doesn't work is DNS - but only in one direction. The server side can reach the client side via name resolution. The client side can reach the server side by IP address, but not name resolution. Both sides are using DNS resolver. The override is set on each resolver to direct the DNS queries to the authoritative DNS server on the appropriate side.

      Any ideas where to look to start debugging this?

      Thanks.

        @arad85 PS. Using community edition 2.7.2-RELEASE on both ends of the VPN
