Code: 
> more /etc/resolv.conf
search core.xxx xxx dbh.xxx
nameserver 192.168.14.2

> sudo dhclient bge0
DHCPREQUEST on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.14.2
bound to 192.168.14.38 -- renewal in 300 seconds.

> more /etc/resolv.conf
search dbh.xxx
nameserver 192.168.14.2
Default FreeBSD dhclient limiting search option to only one host. DHCP server has more than one configured.
Any bug related to this issue?
It would be fixed, or not?
 
How is the DHCP server sending multiple search domains?
Adding more domains is only possible when using domain-search (option 119).

Yes, exactly, option 119.
How to make it working? It does work on Ubuntu.
 
If I look at /sbin/dhclient-script it looks like it'll only accept one domain.

You could add more using the prepend or append options in dhclient.conf.
Or do something in /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks.

See dhclient-script(8) and dhclient.conf(5).
 
What about /etc/dhclient.conf, dhclient.conf(5).

I tried something like:
Code: 
option search dbh.x.co.uk, x.co.uk, x.org.uk;
But the syntax is wrong;/

Is there any other dhclient in ports?
 
Try something like this in dhclient.conf:

Code: 
prepend domain-name "example.org "

NB Note the space after the domain!
