The problem is that even through the dhcp-options man page says "DHCP option statements always start with the option key­ word, followed by an option name, followed by option data." and states "option domain-name-servers ip-address [, ip-address... ];" the word "option" is in fact not understood by dhcpd, and the error message was very clear about this. I seem to have got it to work now with the much simpler line supersede domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1, 64.xx.xx.xx, 216.xx.xx.xx; Rethorical question: is this a documentation problem or a bug?
