When connected to a VPN network how does the windows DNS client choose a prefered DNS server, between the DNS servers configured for the local connection and the server statically defined for the VPN?

I have seen the answers to 'How does Windows decides which DNS Server to use when resolving names?' explaining that the interface metric is used to choose a preferred adapter and hence preferred DNS, however this does not seem to be the case when connected to a VPN?

It depends of the VPN that you are using... usually, Windows resolves everything through the VPN tunnel.

Other solutions such as DirectAccess for example, let you define a NRPT to determine how a specific namespace should be resolved.
