55.55.... of course. Why would it be anything else ?
Of course, that assumes the relay agent if properly set up and had an 
interface on the clients network with a 55.55.... address and you've 
just forgotten to show that on your diagram.

That's a really, really basic question. I can recommend you track 
down a book called "The DHCP Handbook" by Ralph Droms and Ted Lemon - 
there's a second edition out but either will suffice for your needs 
until you get into failover which isn't covered in the first edition.
This will explain everything you need to know - and more.
