Here is how we've done it:

subnet aaa.bbb.ccc.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option domain-name "our.domain.name";
option domain-name-servers ns.our.domain.name;
option routers aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx;
}

group {
        filename "Xncdxpl.5.0.129" ;
        option root-path "/usr/lib/X11/ncd" ;
        next-server bootserver ;

        host XTERM {
                hardware ethernet 00:00:A7:01:CC:72 ;
                fixed-address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd ;
        }
}

where
  aaa.bbb.ccc.0       is our IP subnet
  our.domain.name     is our subnet's name
  ns.our.domain.name  is our nameserver
  aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx     is the IP address of our router
  aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd     is the IP address of the NCD X terminal
