Add DNS suffix for VPN connection

Q: Is it possible to configure DHCP agent on RRAS VPN server (Windows
2003 Standard) to add DNS suffix for VPN connection.
On RRAS properties under IP I set static address pool (reserved same
IP addresses from the same subnet as our local network) but can't find
properties to set DNS suffix?

I need this, because after connection to our LAN through VPN I can't
access servers using names like \\chicagotech, but I need to type FQDN like
\\chicagotech.net

A: You can set the DNS suffix in the client's connection properties. If you
have a lot of clients, consider using CMAK to allow client config from the
server end.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the DHCP relay method has
problems if you use a static address pool.
