Bryn, thank for the suggested work around. However, it is not a workaround for 
me. My issue is that I have over 100 Remmina RDP desktop configurations saved 
that connect to numerous computers on different VPNs by computer name (not by 
ip address). However, I cannot ping those computers by name when I'm connected 
to their respective VPNs anymore like I could before recent Network Manger 
updates. My issue is described in detail here:

When you are connected to a VPN, your computer is suppose to check that
virtual private network's DNS servers too, when it cannot find (on your
local network) the computer-name you are you are trying to reach by
name.

Network Manger gives you the opportunity to specify "Additional DNS
Servers" for each connection you set up whether it be LAN, WiFi, or VPN.
Yet Network manager now fails to queries those DNS servers in the proper
order. It seems to just give up at the local DNS level when the other
DNSs you've configured could certainly tell you the ip address of the
computer name you are trying to reach if it were simply asked. It is not
being ASKED.
