easy question

[Brian Ventura]

On your dhcp server you must send the client system the domain name
"wfc.ny.us.ml.com" On static IP'ed clients make sure their domain name
matches.  Lastly, if you have many domains, put each domain in the "search
order" (unix in /etc/resolv.conf "search domain1.com domain2.com", windoze in
the "Domain Suffix Search order" box)
