Thanks Russel for the comments.
Since most of the dhcp options are common to all the ports of a virtual
network, I was thinking may be it's good to add a new column -
'dhcp_options' in Logical_Switch table. This can be used to store all the
dhcp options including the server ip and mac.
We can still use Logical_Port.options to store extra dhcp options specific
to a port.
I wanted to know if this is fine.
Thanks
