I found a document on Avaya's site at the link below, here's a quote:

Option 176 includes:
- Gatekeeper Address (CLAN) and alternates
- TFTP Server
- QoS Parameters

http://www1.avaya.com/enterprise/inaau/2002/annual/docs/724.pdf

A man on bootpd (the daemon shipping with Mac OS X Server 10.2) shows that
it supports RFC951, RFC1542, and RFC2132. Judging by the content of the
Avaya site, I think the Option 176 they're talking about is a part of BOOTP
Extensions/DHCP Options, which are defined in RFC2132. If that's the case,
you should be good with the bootpd shipping with OS X Server.

If the extensions aren't encompassed in one of the RFCs mentioned above, you
might have luck with the ISC DHCP daemon, which you can build and install
manually on OS X Server if you are Unix savvy.
