Hi, I've started using the classless-static-route option in dhcpd(8). This was not as painless as possible because I missed some important information from the underlying RFC to understand how the option is used by clients and how it should be configured on the server.
The patch below tries to add this information to dhcp-options(5), without beeing too verbose. While there, I also noted that the classful routes are obsolete. I was wondering if we could just remove this option from the doc (and maybe tedu the code ?) instead. Ok, corrections, ... ?
