[Bug 98618] Re: Set domain and search entries correctly

If you look at the source code, which is always a wonderful place to
achieve enlightenment, in common/tables.c, in the comments, you'll see
it talks about option names, formats and codes. In 3.1.0, they added a
new option code, D, which is a domain list. This is different from the
various string types that have already existed.

I'm very surprised that a pre 3.1.0 DHCP server with a manually set DHCP
option for domain-search is being correctly interpreted by MacOS X, but
hey, if it works, and you can't wait for the 3.1 series to stabilise,
knock yourself out. I guess you're only at risk of breaking people who
try to use the option.
