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.

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
