The problem is that there are two right answers to what to do about a client domain name setting in a dhcp environment - honor it and ignore it are both valid, but depend on your particular environment. It is vastly more common for the correct answer to be 'ignore it', however, and I think that in the general case, the right thing is done here. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
