If I were configuring my DHCP server to hand it out to clients, that

It's going by proper standards that a domain name ends with a dot.

That may not be needed, now.  But apparently was when I set things up
around 20 years ago, and still works fine that way.

It network configurations, ending with a dot indicates that it *is* the
top of the chain, and nothing else should be appended to it.


Thanks for pointing that out. DNS is very simple in concept and very complicated in implementation. A lot of people just take for granted that it works. Mess it up and *nothing* works ;/

As to the dot. DNS is uniform. *Every* domain name, top-level or otherwise, and every subdomain name, no matter how deep, is followed by a dot.
