PLEASE..
It used to work, many moons ago.. But I know it required special
custom dbus hacks to bind to get it to work. But please... I really
miss this feature. It's especially important for VPNs because right now
when I turn on a VPN I get the VPN DNS servers, and if the VPN dies
(like on their end) and stops transmitting packets then I lose DNS
completely (at least until I manually bring down the VPN).
With split-DNS/caching server it all worked great (although I did have
to modify the vpn handler in order to insert domains in the search-path
properly for the VPN dns servers.
