Is it possible to give DHCP clients multiple DNS
suffixes ?

if so how ?

Yes you can.. You just need to specify the dns addresses.

Thanks for the reply, and not trying to sound stupid, but
do you just add both the suffix's in the string seperated
by a comma?

What suffix are you talking of?
Option 015 is for the Connection specific DNS suffix, if you put two
suffixes in separated by a comma, it would just tell the client to register
in one suffix with a comma in it which is not DNS compliant.
If you want the machince to register in two zone give one to the Primary DNS
suffix and the other to the Connection specifc suffix.
If you are talking about the domain search list, DHCP does not have the
option. Although there is a RFC for DHCP to do it. I can't remember the
Option number but it is not available in Windows DHCP options, AFAIK, yet.

I believe Wizzle meant mutliple DNS IP addresses, not suffixes.

As for your answer, no, pretty much what Kevin said, not a DHCP function.
There is a script, I believe that will populate mutliple DNS Search
Suffixes. I need to dig it up.
