+.SH THE CLIENT FQDN SUBOPTIONS
+The Client FQDN option, currently defined in the Internet Draft
+draft-ietf-dhc-fqdn-option-00.txt is not a standard yet, but is in
+sufficiently wide use already that we have implemented it.   Due to
+the complexity of the option format, we have implemented it as a
+suboption space rather than a single option.   In general this
+option should not be configured by the user - instead it should be
+used as part of an automatic DNS update system.

+If true, this indicates that the domain name included in the option is
+encoded in DNS wire format, rather than as plain ASCII text.   The client
+normally sets this to false if it doesn't support DNS wire format in the
+FQDN option.   The server should always send back the same value that the
+client sent.   When this value is set on the configuration side, it controls
+the format in which the \fIfqdn.name\fR suboption is encoded.

+If you wish to use any of these suboptions, we strongly recommend that you
+refer to the Client FQDN option draft (or standard, when it becomes a
+standard) - the documentation here is sketchy and incomplete in comparison,

+Client FQDN option specification.
