Perhaps a little OT ...

DHCP now includes support for "domain-search", which replaces/augments "domain-name" for supplying a dhcp client with a list of domain names to search rather than a single one (as "domain-name" does).

I've googled this six ways from Sunday and everything I find indicates that support for this in resolvconf was added in version 1.39 (Mageia has 1.46).

When I configure my (Mageia) DHCP server with "option domain-name xxx", I get a "search xxx" line in my resolv.conf. If I change it to "option domain-search "xxx", "yyy"", I get no search lines at all.

Everything I've read indicates that this should work out of the box. /etc/dhcpcd.conf indicates that "domain-search" is being requested from the server.

Is anyone else using domain-search, and are you having problems ? And if not, was there some magic you had to do to the default MGA configuration to get it to work ?
