Dear all, i just wanted to check what the source address of the IP
packet that is generated by a router configured with 'ip helper
A.B.C.D' on a local interface would be.

i need to know this as the router is connected via an IPSEC VPN
(crypto enabled on the dialer0 interface) to a central location on
which the DHCP server is connected, and i need to be sure that the
forwarded dhcp request will generate crytpo.

Thanks

It should be the IP of the SVI that received the DHCP request. To put
it more clearly, if a node broadcasts a request for an IP, whatever
router interface received that broadcast will be used as the source IP
of the request so that the DHCP server knows which subnet to give an
IP from. That is my understanding, but have never really sniffed the
dhcp server side of the request.
