@Vincent, re the "If lookups are routed to multiple interfaces, the first successful response is returned", this is indeed the problem with systemd-resolved as I see it, as that method will never be stable for a split DNS setup... You can never reliably predict if you'll get a good or a bad IP for the connections you're currently using.
dnsmasq allows a solution to this, because NetworkManager can tell dnsmasq to use the LAN DNS for default stuff, but use the VPN DNS for lookups in the example.lan domain and 10.in-addr.arpa, for example. The dhcp-options you mention is for a direct call to openvpn if I'm not mistaken(?). That would work if you're content with launching every VPN connection by hand. In my case, I use a bunch of different VPN clients and as such, solving this in NetworkManager is a much more universally applicable fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624317 Title: systemd-resolved breaks VPN with split-horizon DNS Status in systemd: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I use a VPN configured with network-manager-openconnect-gnome in which a split-horizon DNS setup assigns different addresses to some names inside the remote network than the addresses seen for those names from outside the remote network. However, systemd-resolved often decides to ignore the VPN’s DNS servers and use the local network’s DNS servers to resolve names (whether in the remote domain or not), breaking the split-horizon DNS.
