Both patches work, could you please submit one of them, so that it ends up in the CVS, it already got one conflict today. Sorry for not testing it earlier, but I had to wait to get to work, since my home router doesn't support sending domains at all. > I am still wondering whether this is actually a standard DHCP feature, > and if it is whether other separators like tab are valid. RFC calls it domain name, singular, and it doesn't specify anything about having multiple domains in there. However, most of the DHCP servers I encountered send multiple domains (internal, external, short,...) which is the basic reason why this parameter ends up in the search line of the resolv.conf file, instead of in the domain line. Further more, it seems that there are some limitations on the search parameter in the resolv.conf. According to the man page, it is limited to 6 domains, with maximum 255 characters.
