On these we have CPE node with has its own Private IP adress 10.x.x.x Costumer PC´s hooked up to the node gets an Public IP adress 85.27.x.x. Now IP TV STB will also be connected to the same port and need to have 10.228.x.x. Both Costumer PC and TV-STB will be assigned from the same DHCP server and via the same relay agent. So the DHCP server will have to destingus between a random PC witch shall get an public IP from a certain pool that matches the multinet where the CPE node is connected, (relay agent info is used here) and a random STB from a specic vendor witch will neeed a private IP adress. The STB must not get an IP adress from the same public pool the PC get IP adresses from.

To limit the the STB from getting IP´s from this specific pool i made class "STB" (Class no. 2) and deny them from the public pool. This also works fine. Now i made a new privat 10.228.xx pool witch i want to allow only those STB comming from relay agent (class 1). That is comming from the same relay agent as class 1 and be a STB as class 2. So the logic works fine but as you mention some otions wil not evaluate to boolan values, and thus will this not work.

What about !=TV-STB ?
