I have lived with the following annoyance for the past year. At work I can't resolve various server names without editing the /etc/resolv.conf file and adding the following
search www.example.comNo big deal, except every time you connect to a new network this file is automatically overwritten with information received from DHCP. This is really annoying and after adding that line by hand for a year I finally got a solution!
It is really simple. Edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add the following line in there:
prepend domain-name "thoughtworks.com ";duh! Many thanks to my friendly neighborhood sysadmin and this webpage

you can also use the /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d head or tail file
Thanks alot, I solve my problem as well as per this post
Thanks for this post.
What I actually needed to add was this though:
supersede domain-name "mydomain.com";
Otherwise my domain would just get prepended to the original one like this: mydomain.comoriginaldomain.com
