Chapter 16 SSL VPN for FortiOS 5.0 : Basic Configuration : Additional configuration options : Adding WINS and DNS services for clients
  
Adding WINS and DNS services for clients
You can specify the WINS or DNS servers that are made available to SSL-VPN clients.
DNS servers provide the IP addresses that browsers need to access web sites. For Internet sites, you can specify the DNS server that your FortiGate unit uses. If SSL VPN users will access intranet sites using URLs, you need to provide them access to the intranet’s DNS server. You specify a primary and a secondary DNS server.
A WINS server provides IP addresses for named servers in a Windows domain. If SSL VPN users will access a Windows network, you need to provide them access to the domain WINS server. You specify a primary and a secondary WINS server.
