It's both openvpn as well as vpnc, so not openvpn specific.

I'm not sure what persist-tun would do for me, since the problem is
resolv.conf getting clobbered at dhcp renewal.  The tunnel stays up
just fine.  If I manually copy the proper resolve.conf back,
everything is happy again.

The resolv.conf gets clobbered like clockwork at every dhcp renewal.
The next renewal is always identified in
/var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.<interface>.leases

I had just never noticed this problem before now, due to the very
short renewal period (30 min) of the network I'm plugged into.
