dhcpd does not support passing of the search parameter. However you might be able to modify the domain_name parameter and make it a space separated list which would then update the /etc/resolv.conf on the clients with the search path. I am not sure if this will hurt anything but it should work. Dan |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: According to my network administrator, our DHCP servers are returning four DNS search domains, but dhclient included with RHL 9 is not adding them to /etc/resolv.conf. Looking at /sbin/dhclient-script, it appears that there is, in fact, no support for multiple domains. Might I also say, having now looked at dhclient to some degree, that it's utter crap! Some sort of debugging mode would be nice, to see what data the client is actually receiving from the server. I know this isn't Red Hat's problem, though. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhclient-3.0pl1-26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure DHCP server to provide multiple DNS search domains. 2. Configure dhclient to configure resolver from server-provided config. 3. Run dhclient. 4. Note missing DNS search paths in /etc/resolv.conf. Actual Results: As described above. Expected Results: Multiple domain names in the "search" line in /etc/resolv.conf following a successful DHCP lease renewal. Additional info: Pump and dhcpcd seems to work better than this. A DNS search path is fundamental functionality.
