The Internet Software Consortium provides a DHCP server which also
supports BOOTP clients.   The syntax for specifying WINS servers in
the dhcpd.conf file is:

	option netbios-name-servers toccata;

Of course, you'd put the name or IP address of your WINS server there
instead.   You can also specify multiple WINS servers if you have
them.

You can get the ISC dhcp at http://ftp.fugue.com/pub/DHCPD-BETA-5.7.tar.gz.

There are also a number of commercial products out there which you
might find suitable if you don't want to use free software.  A full
list of DHCP servers is available on John Wobus's DHCP FAQ at
http://web.syr.edu/~jmwobus/comfaqs/dhcp.faq.html.
