Issue with DNS resolving over IPSEC

[A Former User]

i have a VPN tunnel setup between two sites.  i can ping hosts on either side by IP address, but can't ping via hostname and/or hostname.domain.

one of my devices is a NAS box, with an ip of 192.168.1.254 and the pfsense domain name is home, this resides at site a.  when i ping nas.home on a site b computer, i don't get any replies.  when i ping 192.168.1.254, i get replies.

on the site b pfsense box, i added a static entry for the nas, .254 device at site a, and if i try my pings again it resolves.  this is great, but i don't want to create static entries for all my devices at site a.  i figured the domain override section under DNS forwarders would work, but it didn't.

i do have a static route on each pfsense box pointing to the respective remote networks, i did a search on the forums and that was something that worked for another person who had this issue.  unfortunately for me, that thread was only a few posts long due to a quick solution (good for the person who was having the problem).

thanks

edit- should i have posted this in IPSEC instead?
