Can I configure multiple domain names to dhcpd.conf "optiondomain-name"?
I want to add another domain name to the search order but whn I tried
either the service doesn't start properly or from Windows the DNS
Suffix search order isn't displayed and or set properly. Example
scenario.
I first set the dhcpd.conf settings for the multiple names.
....
option domain-name "linux.net linux.org";
....
Then from Windows PC I run ipconfig /all
....
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : linux.net linux.org
....
Then I run a ping command
C:\> ping www
Ping request could not find host www. Please check the name and try
again.
As you can it didn't work. However, if the option is set to
"linux.net" only, then the ping of www works. BTW, www is mapped to
the IP address of the DNS server from within the /var/named zone file.
When I ping the FQDN of www.linux.net everything works.
C:\>ping www.linux.net

AFAIK you can specify only one.

AFAIK you can specify only one. WTF??? Windows DHCP server is supreme peace of software on network services field???? How it can be possible? you can specify two dns domains in windows and not in dhcpd?
i have same problems as tek. Have tried many variants of syntax, and googling much, but with no result.

For those who will find this by way of googling much:
option "domain-name" is what it says, it was never intended to work for more then one domain name
If you want to add more then one domain to the domain suffix search list, you'll want to google DHCP option 119
dnsmasq config file entry:
dhcp-option=119,example1.com,example2.org,example3.edu
