LHO opens strong 1NT and partner DBLs for penalty (mostly also a strong 1NT). RHO bids a non-forcing 2 bid.
e.g:
(1NT)-DBL-(2S)-?
Do you think it is best to play same system as after 1NT-(2x) (Lebensohl/Rubensohl) or do you think natural is better here?
Also if you play DBL is info after 1NT-(2x), do you also play info DBL here?

I have always played (1NT) - Dbl (Pen) - (2X) - ? as Lebensohl, although admittedly, I've never played a penalty double of a strong NT (except for 3rd seat). However, I don't see any reason not to play it as Leb.

Yes, I play the same methods here as after 1NT (2M). The arguments against a natural 2NT and in favour of Rubensohl (or Lebensohl, if you must) are almost the same in either auction.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I like Lebensohl and see no disadvantage to using it here. As to the "stopper show/deny" , this applies only to their second suit as the first suit already is stopped because partner overcalled 1NT.

...concensus for all answers. => I'll agree with my partner to play the same after (1NT)-DBL-(2X) as after 1NT-(2X).
