Re: can dhcp send multiple search list entries for /etc/resolv.conf?



Hello @ll,

setting multiple search domains in dhcp works, we're using ist here at work
since we also have multiple domains (thanks to M$ Active directory...).
You have to set the following options in the dhcpd.conf:

option domain-name "foo.domain.tld";
option domain-search-list code 119 = text;
option domain-search-list "foo1.domain.tld foo2.domain.tld...";

One funny thing that it ONLY works for WIN32 at the moment, I haven't figured
out why - my linux box only gets the first entry...
But, since we have almost only WIN2k workstations, it's okay and more an
academic question for us why Linux doesn't like it...

Have a nice hackin',

Harald
