> I thought that is what the dnsdomain tuple was for, but apparently not?  ns1 is a FreeBSD host on which I can run ISC DHCPD, and it correctly hands Windows clients a connection-specific DNS suffix, but I'd rather keep both DNS and DHCP on a Plan 9 system...

grepping the source, dns does dnsdomain like this
but dhcpd doesn't know anything about it.  i'd
appreicate a patch myself.  dhcpd needs to be
capable of supporting non-plan 9 clients.
