I have VPN access set up through NetworkManager. I also have a dispatcher.d script set up like this:

----------------------------[snip]---------------------------
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$2" = "vpn-up" ]; then
	cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.nm
	/sbin/service dnsmasq start
	cp /etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq /etc/resolv.conf
fi

if [ "$2" = "vpn-down" ]; then
	cp /etc/resolv.conf.nm /etc/resolv.conf
	/sbin/service dnsmasq stop
fi
----------------------------[snip]---------------------------

resolv.conf.dnsmasq points the resolver at localhost. This generally works fine, and has worked for several Fedora releases. Recently though, it has stopped working consistently.

When I first start the VPN everything is fine, but within a few minutes (5-10) resolv.conf is overwritten with the DNS settings that the DHCP server provides. This causes DNS access on the VPN to stop functioning properly.

I'll also note that NetworkManager has become extremely chatty with syslog. A sample from /var/log/messages is attached.
