OK, here is /etc/resolv.conf:
search celera.com ad.celera.com rkv.ad.celera.com rkv.celera.com applera.com pe-c.com ssf.ad.celera.com fc.celera.com
nameserver 172.20.7.10
nameserver 172.20.7.11
The search line there appears to be the result of adding a supercede
line to the dhclient.conf, which is as follows:
interface "ep0" {
supersede domain-name "celera.com ad.celera.com rkv.ad.celera.com rkv.celera.com applera.com pe-c.com ssf.ad.celera.com fc.celera.com";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
}
The above contents are just a total guess based on what the
Win-support person seemed to be doing.
I visited the win2k side again, to check my name list and so forth,
and did
CMD> ipconfig /all
The primary name is lipperra-p1, and the connection specific one is
rkv.ad.celera.com.
I am not sure if that is reflected in my resolv.conf or my dhclient.conf.
Finally, on the boot back to FreeBSD, I ran a ping from my desktop machine
and watched the disappearance from DNS:
cglwadministrator@LIPPERRA-W1 ~
$ ping lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com
Pinging lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com [172.20.168.104] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 172.20.168.104: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Reply from 172.20.168.104: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64
Request timed out.
cglwadministrator@LIPPERRA-W1 ~
$ ping lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com
Bad IP address lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com.
which may be of interest because it shows the DNS entry being persistent
right up until just after FreeBSD's dhclient starts, and then the DNS
entry disappears.
