On 19.04 I can see the following (correct) behavior. With VPN (turned on via NetworkManager):
# note: no "global" DNS servers have been configured by hand through systemd-resolved conf using "DNS=" directive systemd-resolved --status # ... Link 15 (tun0) Current Scopes: DNS DefaultRoute setting: yes LLMNR setting: yes MulticastDNS setting: no DNSOverTLS setting: no DNSSEC setting: no DNSSEC supported: no Current DNS Server: <vpndns1> DNS Servers: <vpndns1> <vpndns2> DNS Domain: ~.

In this example it means that DHCP-advertised local DNS servers will be used for deadbeefcafe domain only and everything else will go through the DNS servers of a VPN service.
