thanks for the quick hint. Already found that out and it works (setting
TFTP Server from a python module). 

Would it be resonable to exchange the order for future development to:

	#	src_ipaddr
	#	ipaddr
	#	reply:DHCP-DHCP-Server-Identifier
	#	reply:DHCP-Server-IP-Address

That would allow both attributes (TFTP and DHCP Server Adress) to be
dynamically setable, eg. in a python module.

Thanks and greetings
  Hermann
