domain-search?

[Nicholas F Miller]

Lovely, gotta love M$.

So what does this mean for sending multiple search domains? It is from the docs for DHCP 4.2.2. It looks like an attempt to allow multiple domains by using domain-name. I've tried using this with no luck. It complains if you use a domain-list:

DHCP 4.2.2

<snip>

New Features

- Strict checks for content of domain-name DHCPv4 option can now be   configured during compilation time. Even though RFC2132 does not allow   to store more than one domain in domain-name option, such behavior is   now enabled by default, but this may change some time in the future.  See ACCEPT_LIST_IN_DOMAIN_NAME define in includes/site.h.  [ISC-Bugs #24167]

#cat dhcp-4.2.2/includes/site.h

<snip>

/* Define this if you want to allow domain list in domain-name option.
   RFC2132 does not allow that behavior, but it is somewhat used due
   to historic reasons. Note that it may be removed some time in the
   future. */

When we use domain-search the Windows machines do not get any DNS suffix. Macs and *unix work fine. We have tried it globally and per subnet. The only thing that works for Windows machines it domain-name.
