[KLUG Members] dhcpd domains?

No, that won't work.

This works on LINUX only as a side affect of the implementation.  It
should not work,  only one value may be passed as the param of
domain-name.

RFC2132 - "This option specifies the domain name that client should use
when resolving hostnames via the Domain Name System."

Note the singular case.

This option specifies the domain portion of the client's FQDN if the
client is receiving naming from the DHCP server. So the singular nature
makes perfect sense.  What I suspect you want is to specify a domain
search order for resolving short names?
