+If you are running the DHCP server or client on a Linux system that's
+also acting as a firewall, you must be sure to allow DHCP packets
+through the firewall - Linux firewalls make filtering decisions before
+they make the forwarding decision, so they will filter packets that
+are intended for the firewall itself, as well as packets intended to
+be forwarded.   In particular, your firewall rules _must_ allow
+packets from IP address 0.0.0.0 to IP address 255.255.255.255 from UDP
+port 68 to UDP port 67 through.   They must also allow packets from
+your local firewall's IP address and UDP port 67 through to any
+address your DHCP server might serve on UDP port 68.   Finally,
+packets from relay agents on port 67 to the DHCP server on port 67,
+and vice versa, must be permitted.
