RFC 2131 does specify the ability to define static routes, but whether your
server and client make it easy to do this is another question altogether.
ISC's dhcpd.conf(5) man page doesn't mention anything about it. Some clients
may require custom scripts to handle the configuration of any uncommon or
custom options as well.
RFC 1533 also specifies it. If you have a server & client that fully
implements those RFCs, you should be able to do it simply. If not, you'll
have to hack it together yourself.
