Thomas: Yes, tried restarting network-manager but used UI 'enable networking' checkmark to disable and re-enable. Would this be consistent with using command line to restart service?

I have reviewed the resolv.conf file before and after connecting and the problem appears to be that the VPN DNS servers are not getting added to the file although search domains are getting added. The VPN settings are specified as automatic vpn addresses only through network manager ui. DNS servers and search domains are both entered as comma-delimited entries into the ui settings. If I add the nameserver entries manually to resolv.conf and test host command in term then it works. Of course resolv.conf is overwritten by network manager later.

I can hard-code the entries in head of /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ directory but this is probably not a good long-term solution. Is this a bug in dnsmasq or resolvconf or do I have a broken component in my system? dnsmasq v2.59-4 and resolvconf 1.63ubuntu14 shows installed via synaptic.
