We are trying to configure a client's DHCP server to provide Option 66 (TFTP server address) as part of its lease acknowledgements.  We've configured and troubleshooted the DHCP server to do so, but Option 66 simply does not show up in packet captures of the DHCP transaction.  

We've tried swapping out the client router with a completely different make/model, thinking perhaps the original router's DHCP server had a bug, but the new router's DHCP acknowledgements also don't have any trace of Option 66.

Below is a text export of the acknowledgement frame from the new DHCP server to the client.  Am I looking in the wrong spot for Option 66?
