Hi,

I was doing some testing with dhcp-server-4.4.1, and although option 
netbios-name-servers  is configured, is not being pushed to the client.
This is the tcpdump that I see (verified also with wireshark) and 
netbios-name-servers is no where to be found in the DHCP Offer.

17:50:38.398426 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 128, id 0, offset 0, flags [none], 
proto UDP (17), length 353)

         NTP Option 42, length 8: 192.168.0.15

Am I looking in the wrong place or is it really not working?

thanks.
