specifying multiple domains in dns-search,but only the first is used

[Alk]

Binary package hint: guessnet

When specifying multiple domains or sub-domains in dns-search, only the first domain is used in /etc/resolv.conf

Example /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
auto wlan0
auto tun0

# Guessnet
# possible guessnet default
iface dhcp inet dhcp

mapping eth0
script guessnet-ifupdown
map default: dhcp
map verbose: true
map debug: true
map work-wired

mapping wlan0
script guessnet-ifupdown
map default: dhcp
map verbose: true
map debug: true
map work-wifi
map home-wifi

iface work-wired inet dhcp
dns-search emea.example.com nam.example.com asia.example.com example.com
dns-server <work name server>
test peer address <work ip address> mac <work mac address>

iface work-wifi inet dhcp
dns-search emea.example.com nam.example.com asia.example.com example.com
dns-server <work name server>
test wireless essid Wireless

iface home-wifi inet dhcp
dns-search mydomain.com
dns-server <home name server>
test wireless essid PrivateWireless

iface unknown inet dhcp

/etc/resolv.conf looks like below when wired connected at work

domain emea.example.com
search emea.example.com
nameserver <work name server>

The expected behavior should have been

domain emea.example.com
search emea.example.com nam.example.com asia.example.com example.com
nameserver <work name server>

Currently I have to add the extra sub-domains to /etc/resolv.conf every time I come to office.
