DHCP Option domain-search and SLES 11

[sourceninja]

Hello,

I have a bit of a problem. We recently built a new dhcp server for our network running on SUSE Enterprise Server 11. It's working great except for in one area, I can't get the domain name suffix search to push out.

We have a few sub-domains I want to be searched (sub1.example.com, sub2.example.com, etc).

I've tried the following configuration in dhcpd.conf

option domain-search code 119 = domain-list; (also tried string)
option domain-search "sub1.example.com sub2.example.com sub3.example.com";

This however is not working. Any suggestions?

Also from the man page on SLES 11


option domain-search domain-list;

The domain-search option specifies a 'search list' of Domain Names
to be used by the client to locate not-fully-qualified domain names.
The difference between this option and historic use of the domain-
name option for the same ends is that this option is encoded in
RFC1035 compressed labels on the wire. For example:

option domain-search "example.com", "sales.example.com",
"eng.example.com";

Well, it appears windows dhcp client just doesn't support option 119.
