dhcp is a broadcast protocol. The dhcp client without an ip address sends out a broadcast message that it expects an answer from, so you need a dhcp server (or forwarder) on each physical lan segment. If you setup a dhcp forwarder you need to open udp port 67 (defined as bootp) on the firewall between the segments.
