dhcpcd-3.x upwards supports it.
NM-0.7 supports dhcpcd-4.0 upwards.

Another solution would be to use resolvconf (which NM-0.7 supports) and 
get that to add the domains to the search path that NM supplies.

If you're distro does not have dhcpcd-4 or resolvconf, you can download 
them from my site [1] [2] with easy to install instructions.
