Automatic DNS?

I have been able to connect my laptop running Openswan under
Suse with a 
Linksys RV0041 box. Took a little work (in particular you
have to do this 
with aggressive mode which the Suse rpm does not support so
had to recompile) 
but I can now connect to the clients behind the router as
long as I use their 
numeric IP address.

So this brings me to my (perhaps stupid) question. Is there
a way to tell 
Openswan to use the built-in DNS server on the Linksys when
the tunnel comes 
up?

Do I do this statically by putting in the Linksys  DNS
address (it would be 
the gateway address on the private side (10.128.205.1)  in
resolv.conf or is 
there a better way which provides this information and then
removes it when 
the tunnel is torn down?

I ask this because for example the Green Bow VPN client has
an entry for this 
information and so on Windows can provide the information
when the tunnel is 
created.

Apologies is this is obvious - 

thanks, Dan
