I'm trying to setup vpnc on Ubuntu. When I run vpnc, my resolv.conf file does not get changed. It still only contains my ISP's name servers:

#@VPNC_GENERATED@ -- this file is generated by vpnc
# and will be overwritten by vpnc
# as long as the above mark is intact
nameserver 65.32.5.111
nameserver 65.32.5.112

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        dns-nameservers 65.32.5.111 65.32.5.112

Any tips on how to troubleshoot/resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

What is the easiest way to detect that a vpnc connection on Linux/Ubuntu has disconnected? Manually, I think the way to detect is to check whether the interface (tun0) appears in /sbin/ifconfig output.
