I found a bug report for this here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/37239 In summary, it seems like NM should leave "/etc/resolv.conf" alone when "use peer DNS" is not selected, but instead the file gets blanked out during the VPN connection. I'm not sure if this a bug in NM or the PPTP plugin. The workaround is to have the VPN server send DNS servers and "use peer DNS", so the file gets populated.
