Don't know about that, but I just got the open source vpnc working, which 
doesn't steal my DNS setup. My LAN can use the connection using a 
MASQUERADE rule in iptables to the tun1 device, and all my DNS queries 
continue to go out the Internet connection instead of getting diverted to 
the VPN peer.
