=> next-server is a BOOTP/DHCP field, not an option. Note some of these
fields have a corresponding option used for instance when the field
is too small (can't happen with an IPv4 address :-).

=> This option gives a list (vs one) of addresses of the Mobile IP
home agent. So it is something different (but if it makes the client
happy...).
