Support for multiple DHCP scopes via forwarders and not direct VLANs
-
Are there any packages or efforts being made to address support for DHCP scope forwarders from a routed network. To enable the PFsense instance to handle multiple DHCP scope reservations for IP subnets that are not mapped directly to an enabled interface.
The current DHCP Server only supports where PFsense has an interface present in the switched VLAN and does not support DHCP forwarders from remote devices that must transit a routed hop to get to the firewall.
This really limits the ability for the platform to play a more secure role in networks that have a routed LAN vs a switched one. It's a pretty fundamental scale limitation.
It also limits the value of the platform compared to commercial offerings like ubiquiti and meraki firewall gateways.
I was looking around to see if there were any packages or work being done on better DHCP forwarder scope support.
