We have a setup where an external global DHCP server is used to assign pools within a few VRFs on 7206VXR, IOS 12.4. Interface configuration looks like this:
interface Port-channel1.3004 description Test encapsulation dot1Q 3004 ip vrf forwarding net21 ip address 10.21.97.126 255.255.255.192 ip helper-address global w.x.y.z We're using option 82 to communicate the vrf subnet information and it all works well. The problem that I'm trying to solve is to use a loopback as the global source interface from which the DHCP requests originate. With the above configuration the router uses the closest egress interface to the DHCP server. This is quite usable but I'd prefer it originate on a loopback for cleanliness and redundancy. IOS has tweaks to manipulate the source address of telnet, RADIUS, ftp, tftp, rcmd, and the like but I don't see an obvious way to specify the source of the DHCP relay packets. I'm considering attempting a local route-map as a possible solution but that seems like a pretty big hammer for a small tweak if it works at all.
