NM is really designed for machines that change networks frequently.  It 
will take nameservers from the DCHP server if they are provided.  IMO, it 
works best if you run your own caching nameserver.

You could make a case that the lack of backup is a bug.  File in bugzilla 
and see what the developers think.
