Title:
  DNS resolution fails when using VPN and routing all traffic over it

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in network-manager source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using our company VPN, the Network Manager configured dnsmasq
  ends up in a weird state where its unable to answer queries because
  it's (incorrectly) sending them to 127.0.0.1:53 where nothing is
  listening.

  Querying the DNS server provided by the VPN connection works; querying
  dnsmasq doesn't:

  While running 'dig @127.0.1.1 www.openbsd.org':

  | root@ornery:~# 

  You can see below a) that dnsmasq thinks it is configured to use a DNS
  server provided by the VPN, and/but that b) it tries to answer a non
  local query like www.openbsd.org locally.
