tcpdump shows the workstation making the request, the dhcp helper
re-making the request on the client's behalf, and the dhcp helper
**not** relaying the response back to the client. It does this
correctly for other dhcp requests but not this one. One might be going
wrong? Does dnsmasq have forwarding capability?

Dnsmasq thinks that the request is coming from 127.0.0.1 and has no valid
mac address, so it has no way to send back a reply to the relay or the
original sender.

Jon, could you use wireshark or "tcpdump -s 0" to grab the packets being
send from the host to the relay and from the relay to dnsmasq? It may be
possible to change dnsmasq's behavior to work in this case.

Yeah no problem. Do you want them sent to you directly as attachments
or textified for this list?


Direct as attachments.

Cheers,

Simon.
