+ <para>Takes a boolean argument, or a the special value <literal>route</literal>. When true, the domain name
+ received from the DHCP server will be used as DNS search domain over this link, similar to the effect of
+ the <option>Domains=</option> setting. If set to <literal>route</literal>, the domain name received from
+ the DHCP server will be used for routing DNS queries only, but not for searching, similar to the effect of
+ the <option>Domains=</option> setting when the argument is prefixed with <literal>~</literal>. Defaults to
+ false.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to enable this option only on trusted networks, as setting this affects resolution
+ of all host names, in particular to single-label names. It is generally safer to use the supplied domain
+ only as routing domain, rather than as search domain, in order to not have it affect local resolution of
+ single-label names.</para>
