[Bug 1432254] [NEW] stale openvpn dns servers left in /etc/resolv.conf

 

Public bug reported:

I use an openvpn vpn through network manager to connect to the canonical
vpn; when I suspend and resume my laptop the openvpn vpn does not come
up again. However the DNS server that it inserted into my
/etc/resolv.conf is left there, causing all dns lookups to take six
seconds longer, until I either bring up the vpn again or hand-edit my
resolv.conf.

I want the DNS server to be removed when the VPN is no longer
functional. (The indicator knows the VPN is down, so presumably this is
knowable.)

Thanks
