Hi Bas,

first of all, thanks for the patch. I tested it locally (dhcp server
from my wlan router) and my resolv.conf now looks like:

domain foo.xx


search foo.xx


nameserver 192.168.2.1


Is it intended behaviour that now both search and domain are set?
Unfortunately I don't have access to a dhcpd 3.1 server, so I can't
really test if the new domain-search feature works as intended.
Bas, you said that you tested it with dhcpd 3.1 (which according to
andrew has domain-search support), so why do you think that we also have
to test with post-3.1 dhcpd?

Cheers,
Michael

P.S: I updated the patch to apply against head of the current upstream
0.6 branch and intend to send it for review to the upstream mailing list
