Heya all,
This one is probably simple as can be!

The question is, when setting up a Windows 2000 DHCP server, the global options, you can enter a domain to search. How do you put in more than one domain? Or more specifically, what is the delimiter? A comma, space, colon, semicolon?

IIRC, from what we found setting up our DHCP servers recently (using Netware, not Win2K) is that DHCP doesn't have a facility for this. The Win2K should resolve the clients domain and all parent domains. Like if the hostname is client,something.somewhere.domain.com it'll do lookmeup.something.somewhere.domain.com, then lookmeup.somewhere.domain.com, etc.

Siagon, you may be thinking of option 15, which defines the primary DNS suffix. You can only define one of these.
To my knowledge, there is no way to do what you would like.
