I tried the same thing with dhcpd. With the daemon the definition of user
options seemed to work fine. I set them up according to dhcp-options man
page. But I was not able to request this values with dhclient. Both tools
by ISC, version 3 patch level 13.
So I misuse some predefined options to transfer the data I need for
special configuration.

So long,
