Ummm... Sorry Rich, can't take credit for that! I was simply talking about inside the Guest LAN. You're right, it's a great question! ;-) Issues of propagating broadcasts across networks are many and varied, as David replied earlier. In the DHCP scenario, though, there's a configuration that my Cisco friends call "DHCP helper", that allows (as I understand it) a router to pick up a DHCP request from a subnetwork and unicast it to a DHCP server on another network. This gives you support for centralised DHCP (one site I know of uses this to provide DHCP to thousands of PC across the country using DHCP on z/OS).
