Why each option
DHCP servers can distribute several network configuration options to clients beyond just an IP address, including DNS server, NTP server, and domain name.
Database server is not a standard DHCP option - DHCP is not designed to distribute application-layer server addresses like those used for database connectivity.
NTP server is a standard DHCP option (option 42) that allows administrators to push a time server address to clients automatically. This ensures all clients synchronize their clocks without manual configuration.
DHCP server is not distributed as a DHCP option because clients discover the DHCP server through broadcast before any options are exchanged, making it circular.
SQL server is an application-layer resource and is not a recognized DHCP option - database connection details are configured at the application level, not via DHCP.
DNS server (option 6) is one of the most common DHCP options, providing clients with the IP address of one or more DNS resolvers so they can resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
Domain name (option 15) is a standard DHCP option that tells clients which DNS domain they belong to, enabling short hostname resolution within the local network.
