I answered my own question by reading the manual..
Production DHCP accessIn order to perform all of its access control duties,
PacketFence needs to be able to map MAC addressesinto IP addresses.For all the
networks/VLANs where you want PacketFence to have the ability to isolate a node
or to haveIP information about nodes, you will need to perform one of the
techniques below.Also note that this doesn’t need to be done for the
registration, isolation VLANs and inline interfacessince PacketFence acts as
the DHCP server in these networks.
IP Helpers (recommended)If you are already using IP Helpers for your production
DHCP in your production VLANs this approach isthe simplest one and the one that
works the best.Add PacketFence’s management IP address as the last ip
helper-address statement in your networkequipment. At this point PacketFence
will receive a copy of all DHCP requests for that VLAN and will recordwhat IP
were distributed to what node using a pfdhcplistener daemon.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] DHCP not on Packetfence
We are using a remote DHCP server for the DHCP on registration/isolation. We
have setup the remote networks in the packetfence server. The DHCP uses the
PacketFence server DNS. Packetfence is over a VPN from the remote network and
we dont want to forward DHCP requests over the VPN.
We are getting an error when we try to connect:Sorry!
Your computer was not found in the PacketFence database. Please reboot to solve
this issue.
I am assuming this is because of the remote DHCP server, is there any way to
make it work with this setup or do we have to forward DHCP requests over the
VPN?
