DNS Server Order and VPN Connections in Vista

It appears that in Vista, the DNS server(s) for a PPP connection are
always favored over those from other connection regardless of the
service provider order defined.

This can be easily verified by using the nslookup command without any
arguments and looking at the Default Server that is displayed.

This is different than XP.

Is there any way to change this?
