Hi,
I want to push out two DNS options to my clients using DHCP so that they can
resolve different servers in different domains.

The options I need to set are:
"Append these DNS Suffixes(in order"
Value 1 : main.corporatead.com
Value 2 : corpnet.com

Both of these are internal domains.

Anybody know how I can set these as DHCP options.

Thanks

Click to expand...

this was asked a week ago, and the outcome was it cannot. DHCP doesn't have
this facility.

It can however be set using a script or similar. read down this group, its
there somewhere.
 
Correct - here is the article

Use only one DNS Server that would be the primary DNS for that client. Use
the other DNS as the first one in the Forwarders List of the first DNS
Server's Configuration. Repeat the "flip-side" of that on the other DNS
Server' confiuration. This way the client only has to worry about one DNS
Server, but that DNS Server will pass the request to the other DNS Server if
it cannot do the resolution itself.
