Is it possible to
return extra data during negotiation of a ppp connection?
I know that over
ethernet, DHCP can return a domain suffix to the client.
Is there a way of
returning the same information to a ppp host (MS Windows 95) from the ppp server
during
negotiation.
Does the ppp protocol and / or
ppp client software on MS clients understand that information if it is sent in
some way?
This is to solve a
problem with MS clients dialing in, they either seem to either 'guess' a domain
name or have none,
depending on if they
have ever been connected direcly to the network via an ethernet card.
Name lookups for
host fail if they have no domain suffix, I'm using a recent version of BIND for
DNS that no longer allows
the domain_suffix
parameter, so the client has to add the domain for the lookupts
itself.
Any help solving
this appreciated,
J.
