DNS Filter + VPN Selective routing

If I have the global dns set as the routers ip which is configured for opendns and have certain ip's traffic set to go via openvpn cient on the router as per the selective routing thread using a command such as:

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i br0 -m iprange --src-range 192.168.0.37 -j MARK --set-mark 10

Does its dns requests still go down the vpn or will the router fetch this over the normal wan link?

As far as I understand...
It depends of what you got selected on " Accept DNS Configuration " under the vpn client settings, if exclusive it will use the vpn client dns if desabled it will use the global one you have set.
you can test what dns server the router is using by checking on a dnsleak site.
 
Are you saying that if I have strict for dns selected on the openvpn client that this overrides the dnsfilter setting?

Is this correct?
