For ISC DHCPD 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 18 and above the syntax above is no longer accepted and a new

syntax is in operation according to this note in the Changelog:

Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will break any

configuration files that use the option-nnn convention. If you want to

continue to use this convention for some options, please be sure to

write a definition, like this:

option option-nnn code nnn = string;

You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
