User defined options question

Hello DHCP users list.

I am trying to setup DHCP classes so I can assign machines to different pools within the same subnet, thereby assigning them to different ddns zones.

It seems the best way to do this is with a user defined option passed along with the request from the client.

My dhclient version is 3.0.5.

I have edited my dhclient.conf on my test machine. It looks like this:

cat /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf
option zone-name code 194 = text;
send zone-name "SACDB";
send host-name "ddns-test6";  # temporary RHL ifup addition

I added the following line to my /etc/dhcpd.conf file:

option zone-name code 194 = text;

But tcpdump yields:
