FYI the table looks like this:
<informaltable>
<tgroup cols="2">
<tbody>
<row>
<entry><programlisting>subnet 172.21.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0</programlisting></entry>
<entry>This tells the server to use 255.255.0.0 as the
netmask on the network 172.21.0.0</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><programlisting>option routers 172.21.254.243</programlisting></entry>
<entry>This is the default gateway the box should
use. (Note: This may not be the same as the gateway used
by the linux server if the boxes are on a different subnet
</entry>
</row>
...
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</informaltable>
