The problem is that I need to add a DNS server from the VPN connection to whatever my normal network gives me. This is fine until the normal DHCP renews the subscription and overwrites /etc/resolv.conf. removing the VPN-DNS in the process.
In this configuration you need to tell your dhcp client to not automatically update resolv.conf.
With some clever scripting you should be able to automate the resolv.conf settings for both DHCP and VPN. The DHCP and VPN software I have looked at all had hooks allowing one to script things on actions (interface/tunnel up/down etc), and the DHCP information received by the client is usually available in decent form for use in scripting.
