Barr:

If you'd like to work on this, please feel free to initiate that effort (in
conjunction with RFC2131bis there should be a RFC2132bis?).

Subject: RE: [dhcwg] Extending the set of available DHCP option codes


While I agree that the selection of option (1) gives us the greatest
immediate and long-term benefit for DHCPv4, I still believe we should pursue
reclamation of additional option codes per the misunderstanding expressed as
option (2).
