Also, when the file is piped to resolvconf (as is now the default), resolvconf eliminates the superfluous "domain" line.

If more than one instance of these keywords is present, the last instance wins. To avoid surprising people that don't know better (or changes in named.conf) and to observe the Robustness principle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle) or some unintended change in which instance of the keywords that win, the file should probably only use one of those. The DHCP option in question here is setting the dns domain and so the domain line should be generated. I have been told that there now is a DHCP option for the search line as well. But in any case they should not both be generated.
