Re: [9fans] DNS server domain

[John Soros <sorosj@gmail.com>]

When I used my plan9 server as dns server, it was also my dhcp server, which is quite handy. it communicates some info to the dhcp clents, for example the default search domain, which, in my understanding does just what you want. It firsq querys the dns server for the domain, then tries to prefix it to the default search domain, and query that.
worked for me :-)
Cheers
