I have not looked into the details on NetworkManager on Fedora, but
I suspect that /etc/resolv.conf is one of the files it manages.
Combined with PEERDNS=no for the interface, you will always end up
with the settings for the selected profile. I believe you can also
include other files in your profile besides the ones included by
default. (/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/<profile name>)

So if you have a caching name server, you could probably change its
config file depending on the profile you are using. You may have to
restart it after the change as well. I do not know if NetworkManager
supports this.
