Yeah, that is a tough one.
Hmm, could you do multiple "search subnetX.mydomain.org" lines?
I've never had a need to do this on unix, but it appears Windows can
(though I don't know if these can be set by dhcp server and/or hardcoded
on windows w/ a dhcp address). Might be something to look into. Also
would have to crank down the DNS TTL ...
Let us know if you find a solution.
