Dinamically changing /etc/resolv.conf (in connection with using openvpn)

Is there package "resolvocnf" in maemo or etc.?
I need in the next: when I use openvpn I need to have in
/etc/resolv.conf a record indicating to dns-servers which can resolve
dns-address of my vpn to ip and after connection - changes nameservers
to the vpn-server's ip (for making dns-queries only through vpn).
I intended use package resolvconf such as it
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/resolvconf but I didn't find it in
maemo repos.

If I remember correctly I first installed the openvpn-switching applet
which pulls all neccesary packets including a kind of resolvconf.
As Thomas already wrote there is a file
/etc/openvpn/maemo-update-resolvconf then wich controls the behavior.

Friends and me are using a modified one which allows to do VOIP-Calls
via Openvpn, please be aware that you have to install the package
libmissioncontrol-utils to use it:

The corresponding config-File-example you find here:

Sorry for it's only in german, but if you have any questions I'll be at
your service.

FYI, the Diablo version's /etc/openvpn/maemo-update-resolvconf
does not require resolvconf.

I would still prefer something that works with the existing dnsmasq
setup (perhaps hijack /var/run/resolv.conf.lo for example) in order to
reduce traffic etc, but the above should get you working.
