Well if you even make your DHCP server send packets to already configured IP address, I'm afraid the client side will just ignore them.
Actually, since I figured out how to get the DHCP client to send the request over PPPoE, by telling it to use the PPP device instead of the ethernet device, I think it will work, if I can get the server to send the response back over PPPoE.
What operating system is on client side?
Again, it's VxWorks...
