Name resolution across OpenVPN

Hello...

 

Some context:

 

My ER-X router is "managing" my home lan: the dnsmasq inside er-x manages the "phi8.home" domain: any clients in my home network can for example do "ping thewall.phi8.home" and get the hostname resolved.

 

I set up a n openvpn server to let relatives connect inside my lan from theirs home.

 

theirs local domain is .lan ( eg: they can ping their router with ping mywall.lan and get the name resolved) WHEN THE VPN IS NOT OPEN.

 

As soon as they open the client connection, 

- ping thewall.phi8.home resolves ( the dns server is pushed by the openvpn server to the client)

- ping mywall.lan does not resolves anymore ( their local dns server is not queried anymore)

 

Can somebody help me on that subject ??

Thanks in advance

Etienne
