Title:
  [vivid] VPN connection breaks /etc/resolv.conf

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After some recent update in vivid, connecting to my employer's VPN
  with network-manager-openvpn has resulted in broken name resolution.
  Previously, the VPN-provided nameserver setting would be pushed into
  the config of the dnsmasq run by NM.  Now, it is being pushed instead
  to /etc/resolv.conf.

   nameserver 10.99.244.1
   nameserver 127.0.1.1

  This is breaking the DNS handling for libvirt-bin, which has its own
  forwarding dnsmasq instance which it expects to be able to talk to the
  first nameserver listed here.  The nameserver in question does not
  work (and is not meant to be used) for any name lookups except
  company-internal domains.

  Connecting to the VPN also pushes search paths to /etc/resolv.conf -
  overriding the search domains that I have already configured, and
  which should take precedence.  (This part is not a regression.)  I
  understand that the purpose of these provided domains is to specify
  the domains for which DNS lookups should be forwarded to the VPN DNS
  server, and *not* to modify the system's DNS lookups for non-FQDN
  requests.
