[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#460609: resolvconf: Please add support for domain-search

[Andrew Pollock]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.38
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

I've just added support to dhcp3-client for the new domain-search
option. This now does the right thing to /etc/resolv.conf if resolvconf
isn't in use.

For users to get the full benefit if resolvconf *is* in use, a small
modification to the hook will be required.

I realise that resolvconf combines the "domain" and "search" directives
in resolv.conf, I've just set both for parity with the way they're set
in dhclient-script (and for what it's worth, the way MacOS X 10.5 seems
to treat the domain-search DHCP option being set).

regards

Andrew
