You can achieve some of this using dispatcher scripts, I think; you'll get notifications when devices go up or down which you could then use to rewrite resolv.conf. You won't get notifications on DHCP renew though. Alternatively, *all* the state is available via D-Bus, so you could write a small python listener that does what you need too without the drawbacks of a dispatcher script. Caching nameserver has recently come up again because the Chromium devs really really want one, and have done some work to make NM do the right thing with Chromium. We need to generalize that code somewhat and make it applicable to more than just Chromium, but with a little help we could be there pretty soon.
