Domain Name Type a default domain suffix that should be passed to DHCP clients.
The DHCP client will automatically append the domain suffix for the
resolving of non-fully qualified names. For example, if the domain suffix
is set to "mydomain.com", and the client tries to resolve the name
“mail”, the suffix will be automatically appended to the name, resulting
in “mail.mydomain.com”.
