Cisco confirmed we are hitting bug DHCP snooping fails with unicast DHCP 
request CSCup02384...  I don't think it should be classified as enhancement 
severity...  If Cisco says they do DHCP snooping then they should be able to 
cover the case of unicast renewal...  I'm going to try the ACL suggestion made 
be Gert...  Thanks...

I recently solved an issue a client had with a very similar setup and the same 
symptoms.

They had a very complex PBR setup and the unicasts in the renew process got 
misplaced .
