Best I've found is this simple reghack that runs in the login script (this
is only on win9x clients):
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP]
"EnableDNS"="1"
"HostName"="host"
"Domain"=""
"SearchList"="primary.com,secondary.com,tertiary.com"
"NameServer"=""
This lets me give 3 (or more) domains, while still pulling the IP address
for the nameserver from DHCP. Of course, it has a glitch or two, i.e. a
user has to click on 'OK' becase they get a dialog box stating "domain.reg
has been sucessfully entered into the registry", and it's really only good
for machines that are going to remain on a desktop because if the machine
wanders to yet another domain (ISP at home if a laptop) and pulls DHCP, the
domain it gets doesn't seem to override the search order, so no resolution.
But for me, where I had hundreds of machines that were never going to leave
the building, this worked great. Reboot them, log them into the domain
once, and they're done. Then I turned off the reghack in the login script
and just run it manually from a share for any new builds that go out to the
floor.
Maybe it'll help in your case, maybe not.

There's no way to do this - it's not currently supported in the
protocol. You can't do it with the Microsoft server either, AFAIK.

?
Unless you feel like doing some serious Windows hacking, forget it.
