Hello,

I have a m0n0 running PPTP service to allow external users to connect to 
the LAN, the IP range for VPN is inside LAN network range so internal 
users can ping external ones. The problem is that external users cannot be 
contacted by host name but only by their IP.

We have a Windows 2003 server running DNS and DHCP. If I could, someway, 
get the IP addresses for the VPN clients from the internal DHCP a DNS 
entry would be created and my problem would be solved. 

Then my question is if there is (or will be in a future) any chance to get 
the IP address of the VPN clients in m0n0 from the internal DHCP.

Regards,
Germán
