NM sets my nameserver based on the isp, which is _very_ slow. I've set up a local caching nameserver which works well. But how do I tell NM to use 127.0.0.1??

I've set up dhclient.conf with a prepend statement. If I just run dhclient that works, i.e. /etc/resolv.conf has the local nameserver. But if I just start NM, it doesn't. It looks like NM tells /sbin/dhclient not to use the .conf file.

So now I manually edit the resolv.conf file. How can I configure NM to use the local nameserver?

And yes, I did try the DNS box in the NM edit connection box. But that appends the local nameserver to the isp nameserver. I want the caching nameserver to be prepended - that is, come first.

	This is exactly the problem I run into with my corporate VPN (AT&T
proprietary SSL based POS).  I have to set up dnsmasq to forward only
certain requests down the VPN (DNS is ssslllooowww down the VPN) and
certain requests to my local (IPv6) name servers and the rest through
normal resolution.  I've been searching for a solution myself.
Unfortunately, all the solutions I've been able to find are outdated and
already subverted by the NetworkManager developers (dhclient-script
hooks no longer function with the current verion of NetworkMangler).

	I have a longer rant that I'm strongly tempted to send.

I'd wouldn't necessarily post your rant here, as most of us here agree
that NM is a bad idea gone wrong.  You should, rather, post your rant as
a nice big, fat bugzilla report on the NM and/or Gnome bugzillas.

It'd also be nice if there was a decent how-to on the various aspects of
the configuraton of wpa_supplicant (what the various "key_mgmt",
"pairwise" and other parameters mean and how to find out what to use,
etc.) so normal non-geeks can sort it out.  As far as I can see, people
submit to NM nastiness because they can't sort those out themselves.
