In addition to using DHCP it may be necessary to configure the routers
in question to forward the DHCP UDP broadcasts to the DHCP server.

With Cisco's IOS this is done with the "helper-address" configuration
command. For JunOS you use the "bootp" statement in the [edit
forwarding-options helpers] hierarchy level.
