Dear all,

I am using the DHCP server in the busy box and the client using the dhclient. I found out that my client cann't get information from the server except the IP address(can not get subnet mask, router, broadcast etc).
in the server my config file(/etc/udhcpd.conf) goes like following: 
.....
opt dns 1.1.1.1
opt dns 2.2.2.2
option  subnet  3.3.3.3
opt router  4.4.4.4
opt     wins    192.168.10.10
option  dns     129.219.13.81   # appened to above DNS servers for a total of 3
option  domain  local
option  lease  3600
......

And the client's configure file(/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf) goes like

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
        domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
        netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;



It can be see that server's option name is different from the client's request, for example, in server "option  subnet" and the client is "subnet-mask" , I wonder whether the name make sense during the communication of server and client. Or is there any standard about the option name? if so, does the server in the busybox meet the standards.

thanks
