| "DHCP relay" deals with a router's ability to forward Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol requests (which use UDP BOOTP packets) from one
interface to another; in the case of the DECswitch900, when it's acting
as a bridge, it will (by default) forward all broadcasts. I don't know if
the DS900 running the routing code can deal with this or not; you should
probably ask in IROCZ::COMMON_BROUTERS (don't bother hitting KP7, I can
never remember how to do that). FWIW, the DECbrouter (running cisco
code) adheres to rfc1542, and is configurable to forward DHCP requests.
