Public bug reported: After the upgrade from yenial to yakkety, the internal DNS servers (pushed by the openvpn server) are not being used by dnsmasq.
Symptom: I connect via openvpn (called from network manager), the connection is established successfully but INTERNAL hostnames cannot be resolved. The system itself is using dnsmasq. I then have to kill the running dnsmasq instance. After it's been (automagically) restarted, internal DNS names can be resolved.
