This is somewhat related. I have a poorly behaved VPN connection that sends NM empty DNS settings so that no DNS works when I'm connected to the VPN. I can't fix the VPN, so my current workaround is to copy /etc/resolv.conf before I connect to the VPN, and then write it over the /etc/resolv.conf written by NM *after* connecting to the VPN. IOW, I manually restore the original DNS configuration. This is annoying to say the least.
My question is, is there a way to preseve the DNS settings on *just that* VPN connection so I don't have to do this dance every time?
