dhcp-option=vendor:,1,31:41:50:43
dhcp-option=vendor:,2,1

would be a good start. It also make slightly more sense than the ISC 
version, which is a nice bonus.

If that doesn't work, capturing packets with "tcpdump -s 0 -w 
<filename>" perferably from a working ISC config would help in 
diagnosing the situation.

Cheers,

Simon.
