There seems to be no way with NM to

  1. override the list of DNS servers (I always want to use OpenNIC)
  2. add a search domain to all connections (e.g. madduck.net for
     me), not having to configure this for every connection
  3. be able to specify defaults, e.g. requiring ipv6 addressing for
     a connection to complete.

Etc.

It's surprising that none of this has been added to NM. Am
I overlooking something? Are there other tools?

NM can talk to tools like resolvconf or dnsmasq and let them manage
/etc/resolv.conf. NM then only pushes the DNS information to them and
doesn't touch /etc/resolv.conf itself.

With resolvconf or dnsmasq you should be able to configure what you want.

Not all of them, but sure, it'll help. Thanks.
