Re: [dhcwg] <draft-ietf-dhc-agent-subnet-selection-03.txt>

As I remember, Ted's last sentence reflects the consensus of the dhc WG at 
the time the subnet selection option was reviewed: the subnet mask is 
information that the server must be configured with (regardless of whether 
the subnet selection option is used); sending the subnet mask from the 
relay agent would be redundant and represent an opportunity for the 
information from the relay agent and the server to be out of sync.  Thus, 
the subnet selection option does not include a subnet mask...
