Title:
[vivid] VPN connection breaks /etc/resolv.conf
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After some recent update in vivid, connecting to my employer's VPN
with network-manager-openvpn has resulted in broken name resolution.
Previously, the VPN-provided nameserver setting would be pushed into
the config of the dnsmasq run by NM. Now, it is being pushed instead
to /etc/resolv.conf.
nameserver 10.99.244.1
nameserver 127.0.1.1
This is breaking the DNS handling for libvirt-bin, which has its own
forwarding dnsmasq instance which it expects to be able to talk to the
first nameserver listed here. The nameserver in question does not
work (and is not meant to be used) for any name lookups except
company-internal domains.
Connecting to the VPN also pushes search paths to /etc/resolv.conf -
overriding the search domains that I have already configured, and
which should take precedence. (This part is not a regression.) I
understand that the purpose of these provided domains is to specify
the domains for which DNS lookups should be forwarded to the VPN DNS
server, and *not* to modify the system's DNS lookups for non-FQDN
requests.
