Thank you Eric and Henry, I got dnsmasq to work nicely with your
suggestions. I simply updated /etc/resolve.conf to use 10.0.2.3 and my
VPN nameservers (along with disabling dhcp on slirp) and that got
lookups to work nicely for VPN. The domain search order is still not
working, but it is still much better as I can now use names and not
worry about changing ip addresses.

Meanwhile, I also got cofs to work and now just learned that I could
setup colinux to run off real partitions. This will make it easier to
eventually migrate away from windows completely (not going to happen
until we replace MS sql server, but we are getting there).
