Sorry, you're missing the point. Connman *is* the DNS server, so applications 
simply make DNS requests to Connman, which will reply with information it has 
or it will query the nameservers you listed for that information. Applications 
don't need to know what server was set in the system and they won't need to 
watch the file for updates.

"Connection refused" indicates that name resolution is working fine. The 
problem is now your Internet connection. Given your next email, looks like you  
had not configured the proxy correctly.
