Static IP via Option 82 - methodology

[perl-list]

For example... would this work?: 

----------------------------------------------------- 

host 10-24-24-9 { 

host-identifier option agent.circuit-id "1.21.1.4/Ethernet9"; 

fixed-address 10.24.24.9; 

server-name "192.168.0.12"; 

filename "SomeCFG.cfg"; 

} 

----------------------------------------------------- 

It passes muster as far as dhcpd doesn't complain and will run, but will the client receive the server-name / filename options?
