Summary:                    feature request for udhcpd
Description: 
It is possible to add to options.c
in struct dhcp_option dhcp_options[] = {


+        {"wpad",        OPTION_STRING,                          0xfc},

?
It is useful for Windows clients, using dhcp.

A better approach to this is, perhaps, is to follow the standart client's
way of autodetecting wpad settings for a given network.

I.e. If you have a properly setup network, the clients (in automatic setup
mode) resolve and use http://wpad.<localdomain>/wpad.dat

So i guess you'd be better off to adjust your dns config or use a custom
string in udhcpd (not sure if this is implemented, though) rather than
adding stuff like this proposed hardcoded string.
