Let's not forget that NM is not suitable for someone running a local
DNS server (bind with DNSSEC enabled). It also does not work at all
when used on a laptop as a caching DNS.
There is a F14^H^H^HF15 feature to make NM work with bind and DSNSEC.
I look forward to it - my girlfriend's ISP's DNS servers can take up
to 10 seconds to resolve an address, and occasionally simply do not
resolve legit URLs.

That's strange. I use it on my laptop, which has a caching local DNS
server (dnsmasq) and it works just fine. I do have a script in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ that waits for bringup and vpn bring
up to make adjustments to the running local DNS server (which seems
easier with NM than it would be with the old scripts).
