Verner,
You need to add a couple of lines near the top of your dhcpd.conf file.
They are:
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
They can go up in the top of the dhcpd.conf, before any workstations are
defined. right after the 'ddns-update-style' would be a good place
to put those 2 new lines.
