subnet, would have a better idea where the subnet is, than a client machine
that roams from place to place and usually does not know where it is
located.  If the operator lists more than one server, there is likely to be
a need to designate primary vs backup in some cases.  If the client knows
better, it can certainly have its own list, and ignore or append what the
network recommends.  But the network knows better what will be faster or
even reachable from a given subnet, in my opinion.  (I run the DHCP servers
at my location, so I am probably biased.)
