Ip helper
-
Hi everyone I'm looking for something like IP HELPER. My understanding is its used to direct broadcasts to a specific machine on another subnet that it wouldnt otherwise get to.
pfsense have this functionality?
Not sure if this belongs here or in the dhcp forum as I understand that its used mostly for this purpose.

Would DHCP Relay match your needs?

I would like this too, for OS X NetBoot.
