That doesn't turn it into a DHCP relay agent, though, does it? I think you
need a router for that.

A DHCP relay agent forwards DHCP broadcasts to a server not on the local
LAN. It's accomplished on a router by configuring an IP helper address on
the incoming interface where the clients reside. The IP helper address
points to the server. The router than forwards the UDP broadcasts to port 67
over to the server.

This solves the problem where DHCP clients reside on a different LAN from
the DHCP server. The problem that you are addressing is a different problem.
