>Organization:
AT&T
>Environment:
isc-dhcp from contrib
>Description:
The /sbin/dhclient-script shell script always recreates /etc/resolv.conf
from scratch, containing a limited "search" line which only includes
the domain returned by the DHCP server. Some people like to use
"search" to search multiple domains. My suggestion is that if the
file /etc/search.<domain name> exists, use it as the search line -
example: /etc/search.research.att.com contains
search research.att.com otherdomain.att.com att.com freebsd.org
and /etc/search.ourhouse.net contains
search ourhouse.net freebsd.org
>How-To-Repeat:
Run dhclient and examine /etc/resolv.conf
