But anyway, man do I hate it when a DHCP connection overrides the default
search path I put in there. When I type an unqualified name on my laptop, I
expect it to always mean the same thing. Sigh.
I agree fully. I don't mind (in fact, I'm glad) that the name server
changes. However, don't touch my DNS search path.
It would be great if NetworkManager allowed defining a DNS domain that
could be prepended to whatever the DHCP sent (if any). Windows allows
this.
This can be done with dhclient-XXX.conf
