We need a default caching daemon (which by itself will solve a lot of other issues) that tools like NM, vpnc, openvpn can interact with. These tools will tell the caching daemon which IP ranges and which domains their provided forwarders should be consulted for. All dynamic so that as soon as one daemon goes away, the caching DNS will notice and revert queries to the default DNS. And if NM/routes go away it can keep working out of its cache.
