Comment 0 for bug 997076

Network Manager does not use the DHCP information delivered by a DHCP server.
Name servers and other information are not utilised.

The dhclient.leases file, resolv.conf and nm-dhclient-eth1.conf (I use a WLAN wlan0) show different information about name servers and domain names.

Thus settings that rely on any internal server names do not work.
