I don't know what you want exactly. Is VPNDNS the address of the DNS
server that tincd should use to resolve the Address? In that case, just
put that in /etc/resolv.conf. Is it the address of the DNS server that
your system should use after connecting to the VPN? In that case you can
use a host-up script[1] to modify /etc/resolv.conf after connecting to the
VPN. Or do you mean something else?

Anyway, the tinc daemon itself doesn't really care or know about DNS
servers. It just transports network packets.
