I'm also following this thread with interest as I lurk before my first setup with OpenVPN.
In my PIX that I am replacing, it's called Split-DNS and is obviously intrinsic to the
function of the VPN. All of my needs revolve around remote users getting RDP access
to their wkst's as we don't allow file sharing through the vpn and most of the files
they open are prohibitively large files anyway.

My users are trained to connect to the FQDN of their dynamically assigned wkst's which
makes my administrative job easy. The cisco split-dns has the search domain setup that
*.example.com goes across the tunnel. Simple...

I hope you figure this out, if so please post back!
