Re: dhcp6 and fqdn support (for dns)

BTW, from the info in the dhcp-options man-page, I believe that NetworkManager should be doing "send fqdn.fqdn" instead of "send host-name" for IPv4. This should be with a plain name ... not a qualified name. See the man-page.

The story behind this is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694758#c20 (NetworkManager)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697877 (initscripts)

OK, bug or feature?

Well, me and the original reporter of those bugs had suggested to "send fqdn.fqdn" when $(hostname) was FQDN and "send host-name" otherwise, but Bill Nottingham (initscripts) decided to always "send host-name". So I thought it would be better for NM to stay consistent with initscripts. Read those BZs and if you think the behavior is wrong you could try to re-open them.
