I have a somewhat related request.  I'd like to always add a couple 
domains to the resolv.conf "search" option, since I periodically work in 
places where I don't control the DHCP server (or where the DHCP server 
doesn't know how to hand out more than one domain for that option) and 
want easy abbreviated access to the numerous publicly-available servers 
at my organization.

With dhclient it's as simple as:

append domain-name " foo.org bar.com";

Is there a way to take advantage of the dhclient code for parsing 
dhclient.conf and configuring resolv.conf accordingly?
