Yes i want to send the correct hour to the clients. I configured the NTP 
server now, but I would like to send the correct time zone (sumer time 
or stardard time) to all clients. My idea is to make the change of the 
time in the clients via DHCP, configuring the date of the change in the 
DHCP server.
