Yes, you are right. I learnt something new here :) So, I believe this is what we are looking at:- send { [option declaration] [, ... option declaration] } The send statement causes the client to send the specified options to the server with the specified values. These are full option declarations as described in dhcp-options(5). Options that are always sent in the DHCP protocol should not be specified here, except that the client can specify a dhcp-lease-time option other than the default requested lease time, which is two hours. The other obvious use for this statement is to send information to the server that will allow it to differentiate between this client and other clients or kinds of clients. So it would be something like send host-name "andare.fugue.com"; Taken from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Ddhclient.conf&sektion= =3D5
