Thanks, Dan. I was hoping that any:: would be better since I may need
additional cases in the future and was hoping to avoid something like:

!(special|other):: 
    "dns_search_domains" string => "mydomain.com";

special::
    "dns_search_domain" string => "special.mydomain.com mydomain.com";

other::
    "dns_search_domain" string => "other.mydomain.com mydomain.com";

You need to add
        policy => 'overridable'
in the first promise if you want to specify a default assignment with
special
overrides.  But IMHO, I like the !special class better...
