Hi Piotr,

I actually had found that thread earlier : )  I'm at a loss for a few reasons

1) I have a route for the address assigned via dhcp-network-scope
pointing to my DHCP server on the 3550 switch inside
2) I have a route for the DHCP server and can ping it
3) The ASA never even sends the DHCPREQUEST packet, so it is not an
issue of there not being a return route from the switch to the giaddr
address
4) The 3550 switch acting as the DHCP server default routes to the ASA
anyways, so it should have a return route
5) I literally cannot add another interface to my ASA with an IP
address in the DHCP pool subnet.  Why?  It is a 5505 with base license
and I have used all 3 SVI interfaces already.

So, even IF the ASA actually sent the DHCPREQUEST packet (which it
doesn't) it would use a giaddr address in that packet of an IP address
that it does not and can never have.  Thus, even if my routing is
correct from the switch back to the ASA, I don't think this would ever
work.

OK I can accept that.  What I don't understand is why the ASA just
completely fails to even send the DHCPREQUEST in the first place.
