the question about the dhcp relay deployment

[Glenn Satchell]

Usually not. The packets aren't routed directly through the box, they go 
into the box to the relay process. The relay process then generates new 
packets to the server.

Of course you can run the dhcp relay on a box with a single interface 
too. It doesn't have to be the router for the network, it can be any 
box, as long as it has a route to the dhcp server.
