DNS suffix

[marc]

I've arrived at a Windows site where the local DNS requires the Windows
clients to add "DNS suffix for this connection" -- 'vt' in this case.

If I try to ping a local server by name, ping fred, the ping fails. When
I add the "DNS suffix", fred.vt', the ping works -- the correct server
is being pinged.

However, when I try to access a local web-page, this fails, presumably
due to some Apache magic with the domain name.

How do you configure networking to take account of the "DNS suffix"?
