      Hi -

      I've been testing some of the new options on DHCP, such as tftp server, and "Additional DHCP" Options.  I found a few problems:

      1)  If you add a "numbered option" and then delete it, so you have no more left, the DHCP config screen will crap out on line 312 in services_dhcp.php.  I think you're just missing a if (isset …)

      
      before:  
                     unset($config['dhcpd'][$if]['numberoptions']['item']);
      after:
                     if ( isset($config['dhcpd'][$if]['numberoptions']['item']))
                              unset($config['dhcpd'][$if]['numberoptions']['item']);
      
      

      the above seems to fix it.

      2)  some of the "numbered options" expect int32 or uint32, but it seems that the config always writes it as a string.  I haven't found where this happens yet.

      For instance to set tz offset in seconds, I'm east coast, so that would be -18000  DHCP option 2.    The config generated by the gui for this is below, but doesn't work:

      
      option domain-name "local";
      option ldap-server code 95 = text;
      option domain-search-list code 119 = text;
      option custom-opt-0 code 2 = text;
      
      default-lease-time 7200;
      max-lease-time 86400;
      log-facility local7;
      ddns-update-style none;
      one-lease-per-client true;
      deny duplicates;
      ping-check true;
      authoritative;
      subnet 172.16.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
              pool {
                      range 172.16.10.150 172.16.10.179;
              }
              option routers 172.16.10.1;
              option domain-name-servers 172.16.10.1;
              option ntp-servers 172.16.10.1;
              option tftp-server-name "172.16.10.70";
      
              option custom-opt-0 "-18000";
      }

        Good catch :)

        It would probably be best to open this up as a ticket in redmine ( http://redmine.pfsense.org ) and if possible, include a diff/patch.
