Dear List.

I confirmed Bug #10262.
The webinterface is programmed inconsistently. Under the OPENVPN 
advanced options, the field "domain" is checked via
&General::validfqdnname which checks, if the domainname has two parts, 
seperated by a dot.

under the DHCP options, the "domain" field is written into the CONF File 
without any checks.

Which of the developers is responsible for the DHCP code?

AND: What is the GENERAL policy for a domain name?

Should there be just a name (which also needs to be checked) or do we 
need to have a dot-sperarated domain name?

I don't know what is the RFC for this, but i think it should be in DNS 
compatible form "domain.toplevel".

Any thoughts?

Alex
