Hmm, I do not understand. I the RFC I found it's a string (see below).
Did I misinterpreted it?
And I'm using here a dhcp-3.0.4 server and a dhcp-3.0.6 client - without
problems.
Furthermore I'm using MacOS-X which honour the flag and it's working correctly
too...
Where did you read that it's a new type? And what format?
>From the RFC3397:
-----------------
2. Domain Search Option Format
The code for this option is 119.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| 119 | Len | Searchstring...
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Searchstring...
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
In the above diagram, Searchstring is a string specifying the
searchlist. If the length of the searchlist exceeds the maximum
permissible within a single option (255 octets), then multiple
options MAY be used, as described in "Encoding Long Options in the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv4)" [RFC3396].
