AFAIK this forwarding requires the device to have "service dhcp", which is default. Do you have "no service dhcp" defined maybe? (I might have misunderstood this requirement though.) We use this in many places for Sup720 SXF13 boxes, so it should work. Another thing could be the DHCP server. If you know "by sniff" that the packet doesn't arrive at the DHCP this is not relevant, but the DHCP server would of course only reply if e.g. netmasks are the same.
