Of course for this to work properly we need some level of integration

Discuss.
man NetworkManager.conf:
...
dns=plugin1,plugin2, ...
List DNS plugin names separated by ','. DNS plugins are used to
provide local caching nameserver functionality (which speeds up
DNS queries) and to push DNS data to applications that use it.
Available plugins:
dnsmasq
this plugin uses dnsmasq to provide local caching name‐
server functionality.

Been there since 2010.
So I just gave this a try. Already had dnsmasq installed so I just
edited the config file and restarted the NetworkManager service. Then
connected to my VPN.
It. Just. Works. Amazing! Not only does it just work for resolution,
but it also works for multiple search domains. I can ping <name> and
it'll try <name>.localdomain and I can also do <name>.<subname> and
it'll find it at <name>.<subname>.workdomain. A+
