Sure it is. Ethernet and _ip_ broadcast destination addresses are used.

The manpage says:
 option dhcp-parameter-request-list uint16;
Although with google I found:
 option dhcp-parameter-request-list = concat(option
   dhcp-parameter-request-list,d0,d1);
from http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2003-January/001440.html .
I'll try the latter whenever I can get access again to that Vista.

Thanks for your useful information.
