[Bug 377546] Re: network-manager-openvpn should be able to replace resolv.conf instead of adding to previous values

[two-times-pi]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn
  
  On the server:
  * OpenVPN server that pushes default route, nameserver and search options
  
  On the client:
  * I have installed network-manager, network-manager-openvpn and openvpn packages.
  * I am automatically connected to a wifi network, and both my resolver and routing get configured ok,
  * I have set up a VPN connection that goes up and works ok too.
  * Default route is set up as expected on my client, i.e. my default route gets replaced as expected.
- * Nameserver stuff pushed by the server is *combined* with the previous values in /etc/resolv.conf; Both nameserver and search entries are "prepended" to previous values, but for the nameserver entry this is irrelevant.
+ * Nameserver stuff pushed by the server is *combined* with the previous values in /etc/resolv.conf; Both nameserver and search entries are "prepended" to previous values.
  
  I need the previous values to be *replaced* by new values pushed from
  the openvpn server. I need all traffic to be routed via the tunnel, and
  all DNS queries to be sent to the DNS server on the other side of the
  tunnel too. That server does publish some private domains that are
  unavailable on the internet.
  
  Example:
  
  wifi connection sets 'search wifi.com' and 'nameserver 11.11.11.11' in /etc/resolv.conf
  vpn server pushes 'search vpn.com' and 'nameserver 33.33.33.33'
  
  Initial /etc/resolv.conf when connected to wifi network:
    # Generated by NetworkManager
    search wifi.com
    nameserver 11.11.11.11
  
  Resulting /etc/resolv.conf when connected to VPN:
    # Generated by NetworkManager
    search vpn.com wifi.com
    nameserver 33.33.33.33
    nameserver 11.11.11.11
  
  
- I have been suggested (by the bug reporting wizard) this bug report
+ I have been suggested (by the bug reporting wizard) that this bug report
  might be a duplicate of a previous one. I think it is somewhat related
  but the previous one goes a bit off-topic:
