I noticed a couple of posts back in October of last year relating to this,
and a response from Mr. Marc Reynolds.  I too have noticed that Window
clients do not request option 119 (the Domain Search option).  Seeing as
how Microsoft was one of the sponsors of RFC 3397, is there any idea of
when MS clients will begin requesting this option so we can feed them
multiple DNS search suffixes?

Well then, could you please fix http://support.microsoft.com/?id=275553

It is telling a lie, saying "You cannot configure DHCP to send out a domain 
suffix search list. This is a limitation of the DHCP protocol itself and not
 the result of limitations in any particular vendor's DHCP implementation."

This is a limitation of MICROSOFT's implementation.  Everyone else got it ri
ght.

Hmmm..not sure why one would even need this. Even after an automated
deployment of win 2000/xp, clients will ask for a valid dns server on their
own after proper dhcp dns server inclusion and attach that suffix
automatically. Mine did..
