If the initiator has no domains listed, it can send a zero-length
attribute to indicate support for this feature. The responder can then
decide to include INTERNAL_DNS_DOMAIN replies (non-zero). or perhaps
even indicate support, but no configured domains, with a zero length
reply.

Yes, others have made similar comments and I will make the changes.
