Actually, there's been room left in the DHCP specification for vendor
specific extensions. The dhcp server provided with Dachstein supports
sending arbitrary settings to the dhcp clients...you just need to know the
option numbers used for the custom extensions.
>From the dhcp-options man page:
The documentation for the various options mentioned below
is taken from the latest IETF draft document on DHCP
options. Options which are not listed by name may be
defined by the name option-nnn, where nnn is the decimal
number of the option code. These options may be followed
either by a string, enclosed in quotes, or by a series of
octets, expressed as two-digit hexadecimal numbers seper�
ated by colons. For example:
option option-133 "my-option-133-text";
option option-129 1:54:c9:2b:47;
Because dhcpd does not know the format of these undefined
option codes, no checking is done to ensure the correct�
ness of the entered data.
