That's strange. I use it on my laptop, which has a caching local DNS server (dnsmasq) and it works just fine. I do have a script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ that waits for bringup and vpn bring up to make adjustments to the running local DNS server (which seems easier with NM than it would be with the old scripts). - -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkx3CZgACgkQ4v2HLvE71NWWNACgmO8uxgIqX3dqUKkwf5ml07/l MmgAmwYH6L3s06/noL3UBXTyQg/tuFmZ =8LvP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
