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

“mail”, the suffix will be automatically appended to the name, resulting
in “mail.mydomain.com”.
