Actually, I'd like to retract part of what I said above.  Via tcpdump, I
was able to confirm that --push on the server for "dhcp-option DNS ..."
and "redirect-gateway" ARE ACTUALLY WORKING, though the changes are not
visible in /etc/resolv.conf. Rather, they are updated in dnsmasq and
resolv.conf points to dnsmasq.  (I don't think the "def1" flag for
"redirect-gateway" works.)

In my view, two things are needed:  (1) a documented way to view the
list of DNS servers within Network Manager's dnsmasq so folks here can
watch what is happening without tcpdump, and (2) support for "dhcp-
option DNS ..." and "redirect-gateway" on the client (not just options
pushed from the server).  The first item seems more important and should
be much easier.

Title:
  network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system DNS
  addresses

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openvpn package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When IPv4 Method is set to Automatic VPN, DNS address recieved from
  OpenVPN server do not update resolv.conf.

  This can be achieved when using a standard openvpn config file by
  adding the lines:

  script-security 2
  up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
  down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

  In Network-manager there seems to be no option to run connection
  specific scripts and the DNS data from the server is ignored.

  Ubuntu 13.04
  Network-manager 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu6
