Comment 13 for bug 1624317

Hi,

I think I'm having the same issue:

Linux ricardo-N24-25BU 4.8.0-28-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 11 14:03:52 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.10
Release: 16.10
Codename: yakkety

Just upgraded to 16.10 last night, after bootup, I connect to a work VPN (OpenVPN + Pritunl) which was working ok so far.

route -n shows the new routes, and resolve.conf is correctly updated with the VPN DNS nameserver

Any direct query: dig, nslookup, ip route get {host} resolves correctly using the VPN DNS

But any other command: ping, telnet, mysql, etc resolves without the VPN DNS (unless instructed otherwise explicitely)

Quick solution was:

sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service
