You have to use ip helper and ip forward-protocol for the broadcast packets. Are you sure it's the server that broadcasts? That seems a little odd, but it certainly could be right. So on the interface where that server resides, confgiure the ip helper-address command. That will cause the interface to take in the broadcast, and instead of dropping it like a router normally would do, forward it to the helper address. The ip forward-protocol command is at global config mode, I think. In the case where the client sends directly to the server or vice versa, the router should just forward normally based on the IP addresses and routing table. The issue you need to workaround is that a router doesn't forward broadcasts under normal conditions, as you know I'm sure. Good luck! I've never used the product you mentioned.
