As someone already pointed out, DHCP is a broadcast.  Routers do not by nature 
forward broadcast traffic.  A $50 (or less) Linksys (or other brand) broadband 
router sitting between the test network and your production network would do 
the trick.  Checking for rude behavior on the part of the test network is good, 
but given that it's "untrusted", quarantining it is better, IMHOP.

Subject: [SA-list] DHCP Errors


Hi everybody,
 
Okay this is going to sound like a laugh but last night one of our techs was 
playing about with a build of a test server and installed a DHCP server onto it 
(Win2K3), he built it onto different IP range so this morning some PC's decided 
to start looking at this server instead of our normal one leading to problems 
all over the place.
 
My question is - Can SA check for new DHCP servers being added to the network? 
(We've got a rogue department who install stuff as well as technicians who do!!)

Regards,
Tobie Fysh
