Hmmm DHCP IS already specified in my external interfaces entry.

I DO have log complaints about RFC1819 dropping UDP Port 67 packets
(specifically from 10.213.0.1 )

So I think we have the problem identified. The last question, where is the
most appropriate place to add the firewall exception rule?

With Shorewall, you want 'dhcp' specified on your external interface's
entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. You don't need to add any rules for
DHCP.
