I think you're being affected by the changes made to support domain-search. Please see the NEWS.Debian file for dhcp3-client. I think that because you've got a leading space in the domain-name option, it's messing up the transition support for people who were using domain-name to provide domain-search type functionality. The bulk of your problems will go away if you remove the leading space. If what you want to do is influence the domain search list, use the domain-search option instead. regards Andrew
