[FW-1] DHCP requests and FW-1



Current info:    4.1 SP2 running on Sun Ultra 10, Solaris 2.6.

My LAN folks are setting up a remote office which has a fiber link to the
local building.  There is a switch at each site.  There is a firewall
between the two network segments, located here at the local site.  (The
local switch is plugged into one of the ports on a quad card.)

There is a DHCP server at the local site, and it needs to serve the PC's at
the remote site.  I can see bootp traffic being broadcast, but I don't see
any return traffic from the local server.   The rulebase allows for all
traffic in both directions through this particular firewall for these two
network segments.   Based on my research thus far, I believe there needs to
be a DHCP relay somewhere in this structure.

I've found how to configure the firewall at the OS level to relay DHCP
requests, although I haven't tried it yet.  (I wanted to check with this
list first.)   Is that how I should proceed, or is there a 'better' way to
accomplish this?

Thanks for your help and/or opinions.

Elisabeth
