Does OT have api to expose that domain?
Both traditional Mac OS and Mac OS X provide a mechanism to access
the DHCP packet that was used to configure the system. For
traditional Mac OS, there is an API called OTInetGetDHCPConfigInfo.
It's documented in DTS Q&A NW 61.

For Mac OS X, you can get this information from System Configuration
framework. See the header comments in "SCDynamicStoreCopyDHCPInfo.h".
/System/Library/Frameworks/SystemConfiguration.framework/Versions/A/Headers/SCDynamicStoreCopyDHCPInfo.h
The DNS configuration options are documented in RFC 1497.

Specifically, look at tags 6 and 15.
