reservation question

[Aaron Bennett]

Hello,

I'm finding that reservations require the full set of scope options.  In 
other words, I've got a scope like this:

subnet 10.6.65.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                pool {
                        deny dynamic bootp clients;
                        failover peer "failover" ;
                        range 10.6.65.51 10.6.65.181 ;
                        range 10.6.65.183 10.6.65.194 ;
                        range 10.6.65.196 10.6.65.199 ;
                        default-lease-time 691200;
                        option routers  10.6.65.1;
                        option domain-name-servers      140.232.1.33;
                        option domain-name      "clarku.edu";
                        option netbios-name-servers     10.1.1.10, 
140.232.1.13;
                        option netbios-node-type        8;
                 }
         }

If I put reservations like this:
host ABENNETTD600.ad.clarku.edu {
        # bennett d600
        fixed-address 10.6.65.182;
        hardware ethernet 00:0f:1f:c8:91:73;
}

I'm finding that sometimes -- particularly for HP printers, they come up 
without a default gateway, dns server, etc.  If I change the host 
reservation to this:
host ABENNETTD600.ad.clarku.edu {
        # bennett d600
        fixed-address 10.6.65.182;
        hardware ethernet 00:0f:1f:c8:91:73;
        option routers  10.6.65.1;
        option domain-name-servers      140.232.1.33;
        option domain-name      "clarku.edu";
        option netbios-name-servers     10.1.1.10, 140.232.1.13;
        option netbios-node-type        8;
}

Then it works.  Is this correct?  It seems odd that I'll need to 
essentially duplicate a ton of configuration information.  What am I 
missing here?

Thanks,

Aaron
