Hello.  I'd like to setup DHCP relay on my network.  I'll have a firewall
forwarding DHCP requests to my 2003 server.  What do I need to setup in DHCP
to make this work?  Do I need Routing and Remote Access setup for the server
to receive these requests?  Thanks

If a DHCP server is located across a router, you must enable BOOTP
forwarding on the router or use a DHCP relay agent to get the DHCP packets
across it. DHCP is based on the BOOTP protocol, a broadcast protocol used to
support diskless workstations. Because of its broadcast format, the DHCP
packets are blocked by routers.

In Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 the relay agent is configured through
Routing and Remote Access.

Assuming your firewall forwards the requests correctly, all you have to do
is define the subnets in the DHCP server.
