Title:
VPN - "Additional DNS servers" Settings are being Ignored

Bug description:
During configuring of a VPN, Network Manager normally allows you to
specify additional DNS servers that are located on the virtual private
network:
http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-10-16_001_601x625.png
However, in Ubuntu 16.10 the network manager is ignoring the
additional DNS that I've specified at the dialog I've linked above.
Normally, after connecting to a VPN (where additional DNS servers are
specified), the command (below) will show (in addition to your local
DNS servers) the remote DNS servers (located on the VPN):
nmcli dev show | grep DNS
Unfortunately, in Ubuntu 16.10, this is not working. Consequently, I
cannot resolve remote computers by their computer-name, which is very
inconvenient considering that I have over 100 Remmina connections set
to resolve by name. Right now, I have to manually discover the IP
addresses of the remote computer-names before connecting to the
computers with Remmina.
I've confirm this issue on both OpenVPN and Cisco vpnc connections.
The additional DNS server are not making it here:
nmcli dev show | grep DNS
