FWIW, the man page I have says

reply_threshold_seconds
(Integer) bootpd won't respond to the request until the bp_secs field is at least
reply_theshold_seconds.  The default value is 0 (zero).

but this is in 10.7, where /etc/bootpd.list doesn't exist (despite being repeatedly mentioned in the man page). In fact, defaults doesn't even find bootp[d[.list]].

Cheers,
