ISP's typically run one of IS-IS, or OSPF as their IGP's and manage only link and loopback address space within it. IBGP is always fully meshed, although most use tools like Route Reflection and Confederations to avoid the n*(n-1)/2 scaling issues IBGP can present. Synchronization is an ant

Of course not. AFAIK, you can't configure an IP Helper without having IP addresses/routing configured. How else is the Helper going to relay the DHCP request if IP isn't configured. Basically, you will need IP routing enabled on all of the routers so that the router, say R1, knows routes to R2/
