Would selecting class based on relay address work?

Each host would have membership in one class(C-1) based on the present 
criteria and another class(R-1) based on the relay address. Class R-1 
would then have the option 43 and class C-1 has other options.

This is probably murky water, each host will then be member in two 
different classes - assuming that both class definitions contain 
options, how would dhcp resolve which options to use if the same option 
is set (differently) in both classes?

I have never tried anything like this, never had the use. It might still 
be an interesting way to solve some challenges.
