Hi all,

I’m finally getting ready to roll out OID here.  Some of you may remember my previous postings WRT OID a year or more ago.  Well, the wheels turn slowly around here, but if all goes well, I may have everything cut over by end of the year.

So, I’m doing some preproduction testing, specifically with 10g clients and Autodiscovery.  The problem I’m having is that Autodiscovery simply doesn’t work, unless /etc/resolv.conf contains a ‘domain’ line.  The problem w/ putting a domain line into /etc/resolv.conf, is that it and the ‘search’ line are mutually exclusive.  We want to have a ‘search’ line, cause we have hosts spread across at least three different domains.   To further the confusion, even though the ‘resolv.conf’ man page explicitly states that these are mutually exclusive options, if you put them both in resolv.conf, everything works fine, as long as the ‘domain’ line precedes the ‘search’ line!

I’m just wondering if anyone else is doing OID, 10g clients, and Autodiscovery, on Linux, and how you overcame this problem?
