Any difference between Primary DNS Suffix and Connection Specfic DNS Suffix

As I understand Primary DNS Suffix is Domain Name ?? ( am I right )

How about Connection Specific DNS Suffix ?? -- Question (1)

How about just " DNS Suffix " ??

Taking example : the domain name ( or primary DNS suffix ) is ABC.local
How about just " DNS Suffix " ? -- Question (2 )

How about "Parent Suffix of the Primary DNS Suffix ?? - Question (3)

Thanks .

Thank you . Allmost very clear to me .

But need to know the following "words" for what it meant ??

In the TCP/IP Properties > Advanced button > DNS Tab >

(1) There are "Parent Suffix of the Primary DNS Suffix " what is that meant ??
(2) So the Primary DNS Suffix is EXAMPLE.COM ?? Am I right ? ( corret / wrong )
(3) If my computer IP is 192.168.1.55 . When I ping " KCN.EXAMPLE.COM "
and "KCN.EU.EXAMPLE>COM" , I will ping to the SAME address ( 192.168.1.55 ) ??

edster999,

Are you saying that "Connection specific domain suffixes " given by DHCP ( if my machine request IP from DHCP ) will make my machine FQDN as "KCN.EU.EXAMPLE.COM " if I am in EURO or maybe make my machine FQDN as "KCN.EUROOFFICE.COM" . The first "FQDN" is follow my domain name and the second possible FQDN might not neccessary follow my original domain name ???

Please clarify . Thanks .

Thanks Chris for explanation (1) and (2) .
