I have a partial workaround in that I can get my Linux clients to use a search list but not my MSW clients.
option domain-name "mydomain.home mydomain.com";
Linux clients set search path to "mydomain.home mydomain.com" however MSW clients seem to be confused and do not append any domian name to a hostname, or more likely the MSW client appends the entire string.
eg. "ping host" probably causes "ping mydomain.home mydomain.com" (at a guess).
The work around for me was to use separate groups for the Linux and MSW boxes.
### Linux Group ###
group {
option domain-name "mydomain.home mydomain.com";
host linux1 {
...
}
}### MSW Group ###
group {
option domain-name "mydomain.home";
host msw1 {
...
}
}You could put the default in the global namespace and just put the exception for MSW boxes in the MSW group. That is what I did.
At least the linux boxes have a search list, but the MSW boxes do not.
