Adding allow bootp didn't change anything. I note that a tcpdump shows that
the reply from C (running V3) has "ether 0:0:b4:3b:11:e0" in it, but not the
reply from B (running V2). The client is receiving the reply from the v3
server (according to tcpdump), but bootptest still says there is no response
from the server.

Any further thoughts?
