Right. For any rule change reload is always enough.

That's not quite enough. When dhcp clients want to renew leases they
need unicast dhcp access to your dns server. You can do that in rules
with DHCPfwd macro.

DHCPfwd(ACCEPT) lan1    ibs:10.215.137.54

Macro will allow traffic to both directions.
