As you may know, the DHCP relay is intended specifically to relay dhcp client requests coming from pfSense's LAN side to a separate, pre-existing DHCP server on its WAN side. Is that how you wish to use it?

Just thinking out loud here. You could also set the interface DHCP on WLAN to hand a certain range of address in the same subnet as your LAN, and then set rules accordingly. Lastly... would it not work to open up the DHCP server in the Rules to the LAN and then let the request flow to it? I'm not sure broadcasts will flow through interfaces... but theoretically I guess it could work. Sorry I don't have any definite answers... someone else on here might. -Tim PS... is there a reason in particular you want that specific server to serve up your DHCP requests?

Now i had a look at the DHCP-relay and am a bit confused about this... I'm running the latest snapshot.... I chose the enable the server. I do NOT want to relay DHCP to WAN, but to LAN... but i cannot check this, correct ? Would that not make sense to relay wo LAN, too ? or to let the user chose ? When I add the server IP in the destination-server field and hit save it tells me that the destination server is required... so I cannot get it working at all... :-( Regards, Martin
