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>
