I was counting DHCPv4 options as well.

Brian, many an unmaintainable, non-interoperating edifice has been  
built atop the "mechanism, not policy" fallacy.

Danny, if your NTP server doesn't periodically check to see if its  
configuration file has changed, that seems like a bug to me; changing  
the DHCP protocol to address a bug in an NTP server seems like the  
wrong answer.
