server name or file fields are being
overloaded by using them to carry

inserts this option if the returned
parameters exceed the usual space
allotted for options. If this option is
present, the client interprets the
specified additional fields after it
concludes the interpretation of the
standard option fields. Legal values
for this option are as follows:
1 - The “file” field is used to hold
options
2 - The “sname” field is used to hold
options
3 - Both fields are used to hold
options

address. In this case, the type field
should be one of the Address

types defined in RFC 1700. A
hardware type - 0 indicates a domain
name. Vendors and system
administrators are responsible for
choosing the unique client-
identifiers.
