Does the client ask for it ? Sniff the requests and look at the 
options list. The default is that the server only supplies the 
options the client asks for as :

1) There can be more options defined than will fit in a packet

2) Sending a client something it didn't ask for is a waste of time 
since it's unlikely to use it.


You can override this with (IIRC) dhcp-option-list, but if the client 
doesn't ask for it, it probably won't do anything with it.
