I think that the cause of the problem is that fqdn.fqdn is actively removed by
/src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-dhclient-utils.c (in v 1.4.2 of NM), as it contains
the following comment in
nm_dhcp_dhclient_create_config:
/* To let user's FQDN options (except "fqdn.fqdn")
override the
* default ones set by NM, add them later
*/
So, if I try:
send fqdn.hostname wibble.example.com <http://wibble.example.com/>;
that line does make it through to /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient6-eth0.conf,
despite this option being explicitly forbidden by dhclient.conf as an option
sent by clients.
Shouldn’t the exclusion be for fqdn.hostname, rather than fqdn.fqdn, or is
there some reason that I don’t understand for not allowing fqdn.fqdn through to
dhclient ?
