Get all options from a DHCP Server

Hi,

Given:	DHCP client: SLES11 / dhcpcd-3.2.3-44.9
      	DHCP server: AIX 5.3

Task:
we are using Suse Autoyast for automatic client installations. To support a wider range of different client I would like to pass some configuration options via DHCP since DHCP is used initially to provide host and IP information

For this reason the option 224 ( Private DHCP range ) has been configured on the DHCP server side.

Example:
....
client 1 0x002564d2458b 10.1.2.126    # pc126
                {
                option 12 "pc2126"
                option sa 10.1.2.1
                option bf "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"
                option 224 "DEV:STD"
                }
...

Problem:
I do not find this option 224 in the /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-bond0.info and was not able to find another way to get this information.

Any hint ?
