Yes.
Your "option subnet-mask" statement is incorrect - it's a 32 bit mask
which precludes the possibility of a network.
You include the router's address in the range assignable to clients.
Ditto the DNS server's address.
You typo "option" as "opition" at one point.
I think it's better to include subnet-specific options within the
subnet declaration. I'd write the file like this:
option domain-name "office.factline.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.10, 195.34.133.10, 195.34.133.11;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
# make sure the range doesn't collide with existing address allocation
# the next statement provides 150 assignable addresses
range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.249;
}
