I agree fully. I don't mind (in fact, I'm glad) that the name server
changes. However, don't touch my DNS search path.

It would be great if NetworkManager allowed defining a DNS domain that
could be prepended to whatever the DHCP sent (if any). Windows allows
this.

This can be done with dhclient-XXX.conf
