Then your network setup is broken. Fix your routing tables so that
the server can send unicast packets to devices in the 172.16.17.x
subnet. Don't forget that clients will normally renew their leases by
unicast requests direct to the server - so there must be a route for
both the request and the reply.
This is very basic IP networking you are getting wrong here.
