Sorry, I=E2=80=99ve not had time to keep up here for a bit - I see this one= seems to have gone unanswered. Unfortunately, you are in a catch-22 situation here. If the downstream inte= rface doesn=E2=80=99t have an IP address then presumably the relay cannot f= ill in the GI-Addr field. If it can=E2=80=99t fill in the GI-Addr field, th= en the server can=E2=80=99t locate the interface in order to offer an addre= ss. To get around this situation, you=E2=80=99d need to configure the device in= some way before it could then use DHCP to get an address for the downstrea= m - and once you=E2=80=99ve set this up, you might as well just configure t= he interface. Alternatively, you might be able to do some =E2=80=9Cfudge=E2=80=9D to get = a subnet from the server (similar to the way IPv6 Prefix Delegations can be= done) and then use an algorithm to configure the interface (e.g. pick the = lowest usable address in the subnet). The DHCP server would need some way o= f associating the request with the device - and of course it needs the subn= et details (such as router) configured anyway in order to hand them to the = clients. However, I think your observation is a separate implementation specific lim= itation. Because of the need to handle unaddressed packets (i.e. it needs t= o receive and send broadcasts from/to the clients before they have an IP ad= dress) I assume the relay agent shares code with the server in using a raw = packet interface rather than going through the IP stack. You can=E2=80=99t = have two bits of software doing this, and in any case running a client woul= d result in a broadcast packet OUT of the interface which would not be seen= as an incoming packet by the relay agent. I assume not the answer you were looking for, but at least you now understa= nd why it isn=E2=80=99t working.
