An Ip helper address allows you to propagate (repeat) certain types of
broadcasts across the wan to one or more remote machines. Two example of
things that are useful with helper addresses are DHCP, Win9x NETBios

Subject: IP Helper Address [7:13539]
I have heard this term "IP helper address" used to reference a default
gateway. Is an IP helper address the same as a default gateway? If not
what is an IP helper address? Do you know where the term came from?
