Re: VPNC support - connection scripts

[Benoni Hamilton <Bnm benoni org uk>]

Thankyou,

As a feature request, it would be good to be able to configure how NM 
configures the connection.  At the moment, it is possible to manipulate 
routing, which is handy.  It would be good to be able to do more.  For 
example, at the moment NM adds a name server which I don't want.  The only 
way to stop this, is edit the NM source or manually execute a script after to 
remove the name server.
