I am looking for a little insight into an issue I am running into with the Customization Specifications for Linux on vCenter 5.1. The DNS and Domain Settings section of Guest Customization dialog for Linux has a field for DNS Search Path. I typically add two domains to our search path via the resolve.conf. This feature overwrites that and if I add two domains in this dialog, it writes them to the ifcfg-eth0 in the DOMAIN directive as well, causing an error on startup. If I just put one domain in, then the resolve.conf only contains that one domain in the resolve.conf and it would need to be edited later. Typically, I don't use the DOMAIN directive in the ifcfg-eth0 at all and rely upon the resolve.conf. Any idea on how I can manage these settings better such as having the customization not write the DNS and Domain info into the ifcfg-* files?
