Krypton,

Is 172.16.x.x your internal LAN? Must be since it's RFC1918 based. :p
Take a a look at the fig below.

                                       //------\\
                                     ||          ||
                                     || Internet ||
                                     / \\------//
                                    /
                            DCHP  //
   DHCP CLIENT              +---+/
        +--+                |   /
        |  |                |   |
        +--+                |   |
      +------+              |   |
      +--|---+              +---+
         |          172.16.1.2|       //--\\
    -----|--------------------|------|      |---INTERNET
            172.16.0.0/16             \\--//
                                     172.16.1.1


If you're gateway to the Internet is your linux box, then

option routers should be pointed to 172.16.1.2

Pero kung ang Internet is via your router which is at 172.16.1.1,
then it should be
options routers 172.16.1.1
