I have an itch. I connect to work using openvpn. Works great, except

(any other application) to simply overwrite /etc/resolv.conf at will,
but
what is fedora missing to get an elegant solution to this problem ?
I use a local DNS server that forwards queries (both forward and
reverse lookups for the network I'm connecting to) down the tunnel. So
/etc/resolv.conf always contains just localhost as the nameserver.
Does that handle the case well where you've got a laptop and you move
from one wireless network to another? How would you get it to recognize
the changing DNS servers in that case?
If you have your local server set up as a caching DNS server, it
wouldn't matter, as your local server wouldn't use $PROVIDER's server at
all, and would resolve things itself via the root servers (just as the
provider's servers would do, though they will have a bigger cache).
