The relay agent strips the option 82 information before transmitting
the packet back to the client. This behaviour is part of the RFC. What
are you trying to achieve by doing this?

Probably the simplest way is to assign a null value, eg

	option agent.remote-id "";

Note that I haven't tested this, and it may break the way the relay
operates.

Yes, that is correct. Usually you will have an option routers
statement in every subnet as the default router is different.
There is an example configuration in the dhcpd.conf man page.

Al options are described in the dhcp-options man page

     option routers ip-address [, ip-address... ];

       The routers option specifies a list of  IP  addresses  for
       routers  on the client's subnet.  Routers should be listed
       in order of preference.
