Thanks Jim, for pointing out option 128 (and the URL). I overlooked that one.
Jopoy, just in case you haven't done so you must add the vendor tag 128 to your
/etc/dhcpd.conf for all the
vendor tags to work (note: these series of hex strings are required, copy them as is):
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
Tip: you can add the line above in the group { } section of your /etc/dhcpd.conf file
so you wont need to
replicate it on all your workstation definitions.
