ok, wasn't sure about that. I am sure they do come from the same place.

Depending on the dhcpd version this may, or may not be relevant. I 
forget the version where this came in...

The other possibility is that the size of the options are too big to fit 
in the remaining space in dhcpd packet. I remember reading about 
trimming path lengths to minimise the size. The setting is option 
dhcp-max-message-size <size>, although the examples I gave are from my 
working config, so those sizes are ok.
