The Internet maintains two principal namespaces, the domain name hierarchy and the Internet Protocol (IP) address spaces. It defines the DNS protocol, a detailed specification of the data structures and data communication exchanges used in the DNS, as part of the Internet Protocol Suite. The Domain Name System also specifies the technical functionality of the database service that is at its core. This mechanism provides distributed and fault-tolerant service and was designed to avoid a single large central database. Network administrators may delegate authority over sub-domains of their allocated name space to other name servers.
The Domain Name System delegates the responsibility of assigning domain names and mapping those names to Internet resources by designating authoritative name servers for each domain. The Domain Name System has been an essential component of the functionality of the Internet since 1985. Most prominently, it translates readily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for locating and identifying computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the associated entities. This script is effective for people who use DHCP assigned DNS servers by default and would like to tunnel their DNS requests when connecting to an OpenVPN server.The Domain Name System ( DNS) is a hierarchical and distributed naming system for computers, services, and other resources in the Internet or other Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

Move along :) But if you rely on DHCP assigned DNS servers, the the script below will do the trick. If you use public network servers like 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.2, you're already set. The usual route of using /etc/nf does not work on OS X but specifying DNS servers in your Network Preferences does.
It's been recommended to use scutil, but the scripts are crazy long and I've read the resolver order sometimes gets reset anyway. For whatever reason, even if use DHCP on the VPN server, OS X won't use the assigned DNS server(s). There's a bit of a debate on how best to update your DNS resolver on Mac OS X when connecting to an OpenVPN Server.
