Is this router also a bridge?  DHCP is not an IP protocol; it
runs directly on top of the link layer, so shouldn't ever be routed
by an IP router.  (This must be the case, since many of the entities
participating in DHCP don't have IP addresses.)  It could
be bridged, though, at the link layer.  And I may be forgetting some
other bit of network trivia that's relevant to the question, in
which case, I'd love to be enlightened.
