Public bug reported: For both PPTP and VPNC connections from the network manager gui, the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf no longer get replaced. Instead, it only appends the new name servers (And search domain) to the end of the file.
This causes DNS to not work properly as it doesn't query the name servers given by the VPN connection first.
