Does anyone know which structure store the options value in the config file?

Thanks for the quick response.

What I am going to do is the third level: Properly allocate individual
values for clients from a pool, so that each value is used for only one
client. I think it is similar with IP allocation, but what I want to do is
using dynamical option value.
