I've been duct-taping my way around this issue (and other similar
issues) for years.  It's terribly kludgy, but it's simple and effective
and doesn't break on each upgrade:

  /etc/init.d/openvpn start
  while true ; do cp /etc/resolv.conf.good /etc/resolv.conf ; sleep 15 ; done

Or something like that, anyway.  I actually run 'vpn up' and 'vpn down',
but the above is how it deals with having too many cooks in the DNS
kitchen.
