Also an issue for me as I recently did a clean install of 12.04. I have several OpenVPN servers, and they worked perfectly fine under 11.04 and 11.10 but as soon I installed 12.04, I could no longer access the internet through them....I could connect fine, and ping individual IPs, which made me narrow it down to a DNS issue. Appearently, there were major changes to DNS stuff in 12.04 so I am not surprised it is currently broken....

More information about the changes can be found linked below, but basically, my temporary fix is to disable a new addon in 12.04 called "dnsmasq":
