  • Option 50 - Request a Specific IP Address
    •  
  • Option 61 - Client Unique Identifier
    •  
  • Option 119 - Domain Search
    • Note that this field needs additional values that represent the length of each string and a termination of 00.
      • You may want to check the specs or other sources
    • Below is an example for domain spirent.com.
      • option 119 should be set to hex and use 0773706972656e7403636f6d00
        • The break down of 0773706972656e7403636f6d00 is: 07 (7characters, spirent) hex conversion of spirent = 73706972656e74 03 (3 characters, com) hex conversion of com = 636f6d 00 (represents the end)
