Unless there are circumstances that prevent it, it would mean that the queries would be resolved with the minimum of redirection.

Well, isn’t it time to arrange a VPN tunnel to your main site – I believe PIX can do it and configure remote machines by the main site dhcp server? It could be a little risky not to have a local (backup) dhcp there, but anyway might be worth trying…

As for redirection of the dns requests to an outer site – I’m not sure it’d be possible at all.

So, I’m just looking to solve this with a simple kludge. I may have to simply change each machine there to use the new dns address instead, but I was hoping for a simpler solution.
