You could use the "tshark -T fields" option:

tshark -i eth1 -f "port 67 or 68" -R "bootp.option.type == 43" -T fields -e ip.src -e ip.dst -e bootp.option.value

That would give you a list of all packets containing DHCP option 43 and
will print out the src-ip, dst-ip and the (whole) option value in a format
like this:

212.204.210.225 192.168.1.5     c5:44:2b:e2:bd:69:6c:2f:10:9c:a2:a8:fe:fa:51:c3:99:77:2d:dd:52:e6:59:e9:7b:17:a3:cb:f8:15:ee:49

Would that be helpful?

Cheers,
