ISC documentation: https://kb.isc.org/docs/isc-dhcp-44-manual-pages-dhcp-options

Looks like your domain-name-servers option is incorrect:
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, *8.8*.4.4;

Add this to your log statement to see the options requested:
     "  ReqOpt:", pick-first-value(binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ",", option dhcp-parameter-request-list), "(none)"),
Make sure the client is requesting option 66.  BTW, if the dhcpd encounters a null
in the log text, it will truncate the rest of the line.  That's why I use 'pick-first-value' a lot.

If it's not requesting option 66, you might try forcing the option.  I've never used this:
if exists dhcp-parameter-request-list {
# Always send the local-pac-server (252) option (specified in hexadecimal, ie: 252 = 0xfc)
     option dhcp-parameter-request-list = concat(option dhcp-parameter-request-list, fc);
}

I have used this to replace the entire requested option list:
option dhcp-parameter-request-list = 01: 03: 06: 0c: 0f: 1c: 2a;
