The settings then have to specified in a nested way like: > > option netboot = { > url = http://... > params = "acpi = off ..." > ... > } FYI, at least in ISC dhcpd, the convention for encapsulated options that I'm familiar would look more like: netboot.url="http://...." netboot.params="acpi = off ..." The downside that could occur to me is it could be a little awkward if two fields are linked together by spec that ultimately could be interpreted by different pieces of client code. For example, presume that you had 'netboot.ipl='http://some/kernel/' and 'netboot.rootpath='iscsi:etc'. It may be conceivable that disparate code is used to get that rootpath ready from the code that is responsible for executing the kernel. Still wouldn't be insurmountable, but it's the largest downside I could come up with since I think the textual option declaration could look pretty much the same as separate options.
