My dhcp server is running amd64/4.3-stable, GENERIC kernel.

Clients on 192.168.250.0/23 use the "tftp-server-name" option.  When 
dhcpd starts, the first request from that subnet gets all parameters 
correctly; all subsequent requests, whether from the same client or 
other clients, receive all the supplied options correctly except the 
tftp-server-name value; dhcpd either doesn't give the option or gives 
the option value as null.  Other options and the other subnets/ranges 
work fine.  Basically, dhcpd only gives out the tftp-server-name value 
once, to the first customer. 

I installed isc-dhcp-server-3.1.0 package to see if the problem 
persisted.  Using the identical (almost) dhcpd.conf below, everything 
works fine with  the ISC dhcpd.  The only thing I added to dhcpd.conf 
for isc-dhcp-server to work was the "ddns-update-style ad-hoc;" 
parameter.  Each subnet listed below corresponds to a separate physical 
ethernet interface (no vlans, no IP aliases.)
