Comment 34 for bug 96260

Please tell me if this problem is considered buggy or not. From my point of view it is clearly bug. I have access to two VPNs. One PPTP to my school, where it does not supply DNS as it is not needed anyway. I have router all network there via vpn and DNS is not on LAN subnet, so it is securely routed via VPN too. Oh it should, because right after connecting to VPN, it clears my DNS and i have nothing. So i have secure ping to ip addresses, or working general internet connection. I am not administrator, i am not able to change its behaviour. I can change only my laptop.

I have also my own openvpn VPN. It has password authentication and it works quite well. But of course, DNS does not work neither. I wanted to push only some routes, and this does not work. Well, it is simplified by GUI, i accept that. Instead of centrally managable routes i have to set them in every client. But Why some things does not work, when i HAVE to push DNS settings to keep it working?

I have gutsy installed and feisty users reported already. So problem is not new, still no official fix is available. I think all that is about if dns_empty dont change /etc/resolf.conf. Will it be fixed at least in Hardy?
