I still have this problem. When I disconnect from a VPN, the various resolv files retain a search line and DNS lookup fails for the domain associated with the VPN (in this case, my university). Luckily, this is fairly easy to work around (I no longer reboot to try to fix my network). Did I miss something? Or has the fix been committed, but not yet propagated out into a new systemd package in the repos? The post above seems to indicate that the version 234-2ubuntu12 and above would have the fix. I have 234-2ubuntu12.2 which I presume is newer.

It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. . systemd is compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts and can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit. . Installing the systemd package will not switch your init system unless you boot with init=/bin/systemd or install systemd-sysv in addition.

The gateway is "webvpn.purestorage.com". When I connect, I get "purestorage.com" added to the "search" line in my /etc/resolv.conf (and /run/resolvconf/interface/systemd-resolved) - which makes perfect sense, the VPN passes this info to me and then I can connect to systems within the work network without having to use a FQDN. The bug (which is a regression from older versions of Ubuntu) is that when I lose my connection to the VPN (either because I disconnect explicitly, or because the network goes down or I suspend my laptop), the "purestorage.com" domain is not removed from those "search" lines. And for some reason this prevents me from resolving webvpn.purestorage.com (which prevents me from reconnecting to the VPN). In particular, if I connect and disconnect my VPN, I get: $ systemd-resolve webvpn.purestorage.com webvpn.purestorage.com: resolve call failed: No appropriate name servers or networks for name found If I then edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand to remove all the purestorage.com entries from the search line - in other words, change $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver. # run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers. nameserver 127.0.0.53 search home.digitalvampire.org purestorage.com dev.purestorage.com to $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver. # run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers. nameserver 127.0.0.53 search home.digitalvampire.org and change nothing else, then: $ systemd-resolve webvpn.purestorage.com webvpn.purestorage.com: 192.30.189.1 (vpn.purestorage.com) -- Information acquired via protocol DNS in 25.9ms. -- Data is authenticated: no I'm not sure if the bug is in systemd, network manager, or some other package, but I'm happy to try any debugging that is helpful to resolve this (no pun intended).
