DHCP relays are used a lot, but the ISC one probably not so much. It 
dumps core when send a DHCP response packet back to the client. Maybe 
older versions of NetBSD have an ISC DHCP relay with less bit rot?

Since we are talking about NetBSD, it is always an option to just run a 
DHCP server instead of a DHCP relay. That doesn't mean it's a good 
option though.

If it turns out that neither ISC nor TNF want to support the old DHCP 
relay, then we may as well switch to upstream supported code.

p.s. I have a fix for the DHCP relay core dump. I don't know where the 
root cause bit rot is, but I do have an fairly acceptable patch.
