Last time I looked, there was no way to prevent NetworkManager from
screwing over /etc/resolve.conf. I have several cases where I want to
run a local caching nameserver (dnsmasq or bind) and/or need statically
configured IPv6 name servers (IPv4 dhcp can not hand out IPv6 nameserver
addresses and NetworkManagers IPv6 support is non-existent - another
issue) and need to have NetworkManager keep it's bleeping hands off
resolve.conf.
This was trivial under the network scripts. Just set PEERDNS=no.
I got so fed up with NetworkManager overriding my specified
resolve.conf that I finally made it immutable. I was also using
dhclient hook scripts to update the dns configuration files but I
understand that might be possible under the NetworkManger directories.
I never found any way to prevent it from committing not-so-random acts
of terrorism to /etc/resolve.conf, though.
Bottom line is failure to support or honor full range of configuration
options available under ifcfg-{interface}.
For me. That's a hard stop show stopper. You can not take features
away that people are using.
NetworkManager seems great for wireless and I use it for wireless but
it just seems like a great big PITA for wired.
