Depends on which version of DHCP you are running.  By using isc's
version, you can do that, as well as specify other options such as boot

You may want to take a quick look at www.isc.org (internet software
consortium).  I would also take a look at bind while you were there, BSD
is an excellent platform to explore services on :)
