I would be confident about this interpretation, except for two things you say:
(3) If I setup on a single PC as DHCP and bypass the LRP box, I get the correct ATT DHCP server, DNS info etc.
... and ...
If AT&T had switched to using a 10.b.c.d address for its DHCP server, presumably someone at AT&T would know about it. So you might want to consider what actual interaction with AT&T you based this assessment on. Was it just an uninformed tech-support person giving you the brush-off, or did someone competent actually investigate your concern and say they knew nothing about the DHCP server?AT&T as usual has no clue, so I replaced the modem but get the same results.
Oh, one final thing ... if your firewall package (whichever one you are using with Dachstein; you don't appear to say) is blocking all traffic from this private address, you will eventually have problems renewing your DHCP lease from that server (the other DHCP server may be present just to handle that eventuality, though ... that would be a smart thing for AT&T to do). If this is a problem, you'll need to modify your ipchains rulesets to allow traffic between (to and from) that server's port 67 and your router's eth0.

Iam using Dacstein 1.0.2 with all defaults.

Problem: What is now happening is the DHCP Offer is from a 10.235.112.1 (a privite IP address) as a DHCP server but returns the same IP address I usually receive from the ATT DHCP server (24.x.x.x).
