I'ts not possible right now, but you _could_ use the
NetworkManagerDispatcher service, which allows you to execute scripts
when a device comes up. Use chkconfig (or
System->Administration->Services) and enable the
NetworkManagerDispatcher service. Somewhere around there is a site with
examples of scripts that you could work from.
You could, for example, use dbus-send to figure out what network you're
on when your script gets the connection event, and then the script could
add the required 'search' lines to /etc/resolv.conf.
