Because in a situation where you are using a VPN you are frequently connecting into a network that has a heap of 'internal' dns hostnames that are not published on the Internet DNS system and the VPN client needs to split it's attention between local and internet name resolution sources.

It's trivial to do with dnscache from djbdns as you can specify
authoritative name servers for the private domains.

The cry has been that when war is declared, all opposition should
therefore be hushed.  A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could
hardly be propagated.  If the doctrine be admitted, rulers have only to
declare war and they are screened at once from scrutiny ...  In war,
then, as in peace, assert the freedom of speech and of the press.
Cling to this as the bulwark of all our rights and privileges.
