Re: DHCRELAY through IPTABLES Firewall

[<bigman@monster-solutions.net>]

i have removed the DNAT rule and started DHCRELAY -i eth2 192.168.1.70 and
rebooted the system that was able to get an IP via DHCP with the DNAT rule
and it was not successful after the reboot. For some reason after DHCRELAY
gets the request and tries to forward to the DHCP server it is not making
it.
