Domain forwarding through a VPN tunnel
Sometimes it is necessary to forward internal domain requests to a remote name server located in a VPN.
It should be noted here that, by default, all direct requests addressed to external name servers are sent from the firewall with the external IP. However, a public IP is not routed into a VPN tunnel.

Safe Search with external DHCP server
If an external DHCP server is used, the active web filter Safe Search often does not work for search engines, especially Google, when searching for images.
In order for this web filter to take effect there as well, the following forward zones must be set up for all ccTLDs (see https://www.google.com/supported_domains : www.google.de, www.google.ch, ...).
