Vendor Options

I am trying to configure my dhcp server to send certain vendor options
to certain clients with the associated vendor-class-identifier.
 

I know the following:

-          The client give the following Vendor class identifier:
wyse-1000 (confirmed with set string below)

-          I need to declare the following options:  

o   Option ftp-server code 161 = array of ip-address; 

o   Option ftp-user code 162 = string;

 

I have a very simple subnet declaration with the following:

 

Subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

                Option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

                Option routers 192.168.1.1;

                Option domain-name mycomany.com;

                Option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3;

                Range 192.168.1.11 192.168.1.20;

                Set vendor-string = option vendor-class-identifier;

}

 

My DHCP works fine.  What I want to do is ensure that all clients in my
subnet that give the "wyse-1000" identifier are given values for the two
options that I want to declare (ftp-server 192.168.1.4 and ftp-user
anonymous).  Any help would be appreciated.  I am running ISC DHCP3 on
UBUNTU 6.06 LTS with the latest patches/update for the build.
