putting together the package you requested, I discovered a "shared-network"
statement wrapping those 2 /24 networks. I had previously missed this.
I removed it, all is well.
And I thank you because just in the process of thinking thru other people's
questions I often resolve my own issue.

Here is one I cannot figure out: No one can "see" my server's offer unless
I broadcast it rather than unicast it. What possible reasons could there be
for an over-all need to broadcast? I have read in the isc docs that some
clients do not have the correct bits set for a unicast response, but in my
case I have a spread of Windows/Mac & linux clients. Any idea?
