Bug#292830: dhcp3-server: domain name list support

[Brendan J Simon]

I have the same problem.  I can't specify the domains to search.
I have a partial workaround in that I can get my Linux clients to use a 
search list but not my MSW clients.

option domain-name "mydomain.home mydomain.com";
Linux clients set search path to "mydomain.home mydomain.com" however 
MSW clients seem to be confused and do not append any domian name to a 
hostname, or more likely the MSW client appends the entire string.

eg. "ping host" probably causes "ping mydomain.home mydomain.com" (at a 
guess).

The work around for me was to use separate groups for the Linux and MSW 
boxes.

### Linux Group ###
group {
   option domain-name "mydomain.home mydomain.com";
   host linux1 {
  ...
   }
}
### MSW Group ###
group {
   option domain-name "mydomain.home";
   host msw1 {
  ...
   }
}
You could put the default in the global namespace and just put the 
exception for MSW boxes in the MSW group.  That is what I did.

At least the linux boxes have a search list, but the MSW boxes do not.
Regards,
Brendan Simon.

Bug#292830: dhcp3-server: domain name list support

[Geert Stappers]

Package: dhcp3-server
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Hello,

Currently only 
 option domain-name foo.organisation.tld ;
is possible. Which results in /etc/resolv.conf in
 search foo.organisation.tld


Please make also
 option domain-name foo.organisation.tld, organisation.tld ;
and
 option domain-name foo.organisation.tld, bar.organisation.tld ;
possible.

Or make it possible to
 option domain-search foo.organisation.tld, organisation.tld ;
and
 option domain-search foo.organisation.tld, bar.organisation.tld ;


This extentsion results in /etc/resolv.conf in
 search foo.organisation.tld organisation.tld
or
 search foo.organisation.tld bar.organisation.tld



This wishlist is filed in Debian BTS, because it is a bugtracking system
that I'm familair with. I hope that you take it upstream.


Cheers
Geert Stappers
