While I can't find any of the old documentation I had for the SSRs, I know
we've never set them up to do DHCP forwarding, but that doesn't mean they
can't. As for how does the server know, it has to come off a source
network, so this is relayed along with the packet so the server knows what
network the packet came from originally. I forget the pure details on what
it does with the source IPs, etc. Do know that it works though as long as
they've added correct support in the SSRs code.
