Networkmanager PPTP DNS issues

I have Arch Linux on my business laptop and use it to connect to Windows PPTP servers at the office. I use a cable connection and get my address by DHCP (172.23.0.0/16 range). The VPN connection is set up successfully, I specified the gateway, username, domain name, company DNS servers and 10.32.0.0/16 route (office network range). When connected, I can use all servers on my company's network by address AND by name.

The problem however, is that I can't use DNS of the network I connect from anymore (172.23.0.0/16).
When connected, networkmanager rewrites the resolv.conf like this and I have both DNS servers in my resolv.conf file, like I think it should be. But it seems like only the first DNS server (company network) is used for DNS queries and that the local DNS servers are not queried when the first DNS server can't fulfill the request.

Any help would be appreciated. If you would need more information, I would be glad to give it to you
