DHCPACK question

Probably a silly question but since I don't deal with DHCP much I will ask anyway.
I am doing some troubleshooting and I noticed in the logs that DHCPACK sometimes
gets requested via the gateway and other times via eth0. Why would that be?

Here is an example of the log

Feb 12 08:34:15 net1 dhcpd: Added new forward map from it022402.domain.co.nz. to 205.118.130.186
