I put dhcp3-relay on a (Linux) router where on eth1 are all the dhcp
clients. So dhcrelay3 was start with -i eth1. The request gets
forwarded to the dhcpd via eth0 and the reply comes back this way
too. But dhcrelay3 does not forward the reply message to the
client. It is only working if dhcrelay3 listens also on eth0. But I
don't want it to answer requests on this interface. dhcrelay3 should
accept bootpc packages from dhcpd on any interface.

Hi,

don't know if this bugreport is still active ...
on current version of dhcp3-relay (squeeze) you can add -m forward to /etc/default/dhcp3-relay
options and the relay agent will forward the packets.

HTH,
