Ted,

I am seeing a strange phenomenon when I do a trace from a DHCP client to
the server.  I am using DHCP v2.0 and the clients have to be helpered
through a router to get to the server.

When the 4 packet exchange occurs and the client begins with the
DHCPDISCOVER, the client sends from port 68 to port 67 which is correct.
Then when the server responds, it sends from port 67 to destination of
port 67 and the packet contains a message saying "UNKNOWN OPCODE - ALL
REPLIES MUST BE SENT TO PORT 68".  This happens when the server sends
the ACK packet as well.

The client does receive it's address correctly.  Is this something to do
with the fact that the server is actually sending the reply back to the
router and then it is forwarded on to the client or is there something
very wrong here?
