Yes, DHCP-DHCP-Server-Identifier should be set in the reply packets - 
that is used off the back of an Offer to tell the client where to sent 
the Request.

For the use of the dhcp_network policy, this can either be done, as you 
have, by adding it to the files module data or by adding some policy to do

update reply {
     DHCP-DHCP-Server-Identifier := &control.DHCP-DHCP-Server-Identifier
}

The entry in the control list is intended for policy driving, 
particularly in relation to handling Request packets - i.e. ignoring 
requests that are not for the current server, allowing for multiple DHCP 
servers to serve the same network.
