VPN split DNS does work with the 'dnsmasq' dns plugin if the VPN pushes
a domain back to you, which should be as simple as "dns=dnsmasq" in the
config file and restarting NM.  There may be complications with some
distro-given default dnsmasq config files though ("bind-interfaces"
 I think), but since NM spawns dnsmasq itself, you could disable dnsmasq
as a system service to work around that, or remove that config option.
Let me know if that works!
