There are only a few sensible values for name resolve order, and I don't think any settings a dhcp server might send via netbios-node-type would help us select between these. (The main things to select are whether to give precedence to DNS or WINS; and whether or not to fall back to broadcast at all. The latter might be a site preference, but I'd be more worried about the DHCP admin getting this wrong than about any adverse effects of leaving this in place as a fallback. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
