DHCP option "dns-domain-search-list" not evaluated
Last modified: 2009-05-28 23:17:42 UTC
Please describe the problem: I will receive a domain search list from my DHCP server. I need these domain search list, because it has two entries and the "domain" option can have only one. I had a change to test it under MacOS and there it worked perfectly. Without NetworkManager (using a script the old way) it worked too. According to RFC 3397 the option for this has the number 119 and the name "dns-domain-search-list". Steps to reproduce: If you want to test it, you have to add the following lines to your DHCP server: dns-domain-search-list code 119 = string; option dns-domain-search-list "private.anders.local anders.local"; (I do not know, why not all offical options are supported by default, but it seems to be normal.) Then reconnect via DHCP and take a look at the resolv.conf Actual results: Only the DHCP "domain" option is evaluated and taken as a search-list. Expected results: 1. Set the "domain" in the resolv.conf (if it's unambiguous) 2. Set/Add the value(s) of the "dns-domain-search-list" in the resolv.conf as "search" list Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: See Launchpad Bugs (bugs.launchpad.net) "98618" and "111795" too.
NM does use the "domain-search" option returned by the DHCP server now.
Thanks for the work! Cannot await it to arrive in my distribution...
