I will make a guess that it might be possible to set a QOS (cos) (dscp) priority on the dhcp traffic. Have you asked Cisco?
Classifying the clients in DHCP isn't going to solve a load issue at the firewall.

You're right, it's not. I didn't choose my words carefully enough. It's a
limitation in an FWSM (a DHCP relay agent) that the requests pass through
that's giving us fits. The DHCP server doesn't see the requests at times.
