Does anyone know how a locally managed Quantum spark appliance that is part of a site to site VPN where a server is on site A and PC's are on site B where the PC's need to be able to access the server by Server name and currently can only access by IP.

In a client-to-site VPN, clients should get a DNS server specified by the remote access gateway that will allow clients to resolve names of hosts accessible through the VPN (if configured correctly).
This is not the case in a site-to-site VPN.
Either clients need to be configured to use the relevant DNS server OR the DNS resolver used by users on site B must be configured to resolve names on site A.

What @PhoneBoy said makes perfect sense. For locally managed appliance, you cant change any of those settings on the smart console, so config must be as such that users can resolve by names.
