DHCP ROUTER SCOPE DROPS WHEN PC RESTARTS

We have a Windows 2003 server running DHCP with 3 different scopes. Every time we restart our server, scope option 003 router is gone. This totally disappears and we have to add it in again manually each time we reboot. This is the only scope that disappears.  Since this scope is used to locate the default gateway, all the DHCP hosts lose their internet connection.

Has anyone else encountered this, I thought it may have been a scope corruption but there no errors in event viewer to suggest this.  Server 2003 standard SP1 with all the current updates.

> remove and reinstall the dhcp service and reimport your scopes.
