Comment 1 for bug 1046154

I'm confused by your "with resolvconf" configuration. Are you using NetworkManager? Do you have NetworkManager configured to not use dnsmasq, which it will do by default?

I'm also confused as to why the *without* resolvconf config shows a nameserver of 127.0.0.1. That doesn't look like a value that should be pushed by the openvpn server. What are the DNS and DOMAIN values being pushed by the server?

The openvpn package ships a script, /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf, which is meant to integrate with resolvconf; but it must be added to your openvpn .conf file in order to be used (as described at the top of the script). Have you done this? If *not*, then I don't see anything else in the openvpn package which handles updates to /etc/resolv.conf at all.
