Was looking at my scope options for DHCP. Was wondering,
What is the difference between option 006- DNS Servers and option 005- Name Servers?
Aren't they the same?

It looks like 005 is for IEN-116 name servers, which are predecessors to DNS. And yes, I had to google that. -

Isn't it obvious? Option 5 is for Name Servers, while option 6 is for Domain Name Servers.
Looks like option 5 is for Internet Name Servers, which is a predecessor of DNS.

EDIT: You beat me! Well I didn't have to google for it, so I win!
PS: That previous statement was a lie. -
