hi michael -

yep, that was my problem with the "/032" character.  the dhcp-options
man page in debian contradicts the snippet in the redhat link you sent:
  The domain-list data type specifies a list of domain names, a space
  between each name and the entire string enclosed in double quotes.
  These types of data are used for the domain-search option for example,
  and encodes an RFC1035 compressed DNS label list on the wire.

no mention of commas and it states that the _entire_ string should be
quoted.  once i added the commas and changed the quoting, network
manager created the resolv.conf search line without the "/032".

i'm unsure if i should file a bug against dhcp3-client re: the
documentation, as the format described in the man page seems to work
outside of network-manager.  do you have a suggestion?

thanks for your time.  let me know if you need me to supply any
additional information or try anything regarding the second part of this
bug (network manager's handling of the "domain" and "search" lines).
