Split tunnel NAT/DNS and VPN

I am evaluating WS pro 14 for my company. We are currently using Virtualbox.

Host:

Windows 10 laptop

VPN Cisco Anyconnect 4.x (Split-Tunnel)

Workstation Pro 14

Guest

Fedora 28 with NAT in guest settings

When I authenticate Host VPN adapter I get internal DNS in my guest, but lose external DNS. Host still has internal and external DNS. I would prefer not to install VPN client on each guest as that would be an administrative nightmare.

We had the same issue with VirtualBox but found if you add the "--natdnshostresolver1 on" option to the VM the DNS issue is resolved. Is there a similar command for VMware WS?
