Are you able to connect to (or simply ping) 10.0.0.1 by IP number?  How
about other hosts on the remote side of the VPN link?

If resolvconf is indeed populating the dynamic resolv.conf file with the
correct nameserver info, it seems like a more general issue with the VPN
connection (routing setup, firewall rules, etc.) is likely to be the
cause of your DNS-resolution failures....

Title:
  VPN DNS Resolution Fails

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After the resolvconf overhaul in Ubuntu 12.04, DNS resolution no
  longer works for VPN connections. Network Manager is able to connect
  to the VPN, but no domain names resolve.

  Please let me know what is needed to make this bug report more
  helpful.
