Thanks for the suggestions folks.
Can't really use another box as there's already a router in place -
conveniently running Cumulus Linux hence the "need a Linuxy solution for
this" requirement.
does it have to be aware of the DHCP protocol, or could it be a simple
forwarder using socat in UDP mode?
Yes it does. Any solution needs to be higher than layer 4 - the
forwarder needs to set the giaddr in the relayed packet so the DHCP
server knows what lease to allocate.
There are some pretty lightweight DHCP relays out there could act as a
reasonable starting point to write this in myself; and its looking
increasingly likely I'll have to do that. Hey ho, all part of the fun
and joys of life!
