Will it have hooks for e.g. configuring network proxies, cups default
destinations, etc. depending on the network/dns domain you're in?
Currently I use a shell script as dhclient's exit hook that does these
things for me (in a more or less reliable manner). Querying for the dns
domain first, then maybe setting a static IP would also be an idea
though I admit it sounds weird ;-).
