Well, dhcpcd currently does not support user defined options, which is a
defect. To date, only you have asked for this so I guess the need for it
isn't that great.

Currently the only way to do this is to modify dhcp.c directly and add
the options with the appropriate decoding.

Checking my sources, I have options to decode RFC3361 SIP servers, but
no option 120 which is for SIP servers. If I added this, would it
satisfy your needs? I assume that 242 and 243 are custom options you
have added to your DHCP server?

Thanks
