Bug 145340

Seconded. I uninstalled NetworkManager when I realised it was messing
with my /etc/resolv.conf. I really want it to use my local nameserver
on my network and not using a local copy of bind.

Eventually, we'll be using lwresd + nss_lwres so people don't have to
install the pile of security-holes that is bind :)  But for the
moment, the glibc resolver doesn't not support features that we'll
need, especially for VPN support in network manager (ie, split DNS). 
glibc guys don't want to add that stuff into the glibc resolver, and
suggested lwresd instead.

Don't worry, NetworkManager still uses the resolver on your network,
but the local namerserver will be caching only.  And bind _will_ go
away soon.

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Fedora Core 5 is no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 8?

Fixed in 0.7 in F8 and later.  You can add search domains from the connection
editor.

this is broken again in 0.7.0. i could for one release add a prepend search field, but as of the latest fedora 8 and NetworkManager 0.7.0 i only have 2 options with "DHCP automatic" with search domains greyed out and "DHCP addresses only", where i have to specifiy all settings (i have to know the DNS settings on all networks i attach too?). i simply want to prepend to the search list as i used to do with the dhclient-wlan0?

thanks,
daniel

maybe you know this already, but a solution that works
currently is to create /etc/dhclient-wlan0.conf and put the prepend line there:
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

network manager will merge this file into its own config
before running dhclient.
tested on fedora 13.
