FW-1: Questions about DHCP and IPX

Hi,

  I have a customer who is considering Check Point Firewall-1 for a project.  They have a LAN that they wish to segment 
from the rest of the internal network.  Two requirements are that clients on the segmented LAN must be able to receive 
their IP addresses via DHCP and the second is that the clients on the segmented LAN must also be able to reach a server 
on the internal LAN via IPX.  Will FW-1 allow DHCP through it and can IPX be tunneled through the firewall?  I know 
that there are several other vendors that implement FW-1 in their products - would any of these be viable?  If so,  
what other components would I need to purchase - i.e., Management Console since this is the first instance of Check 
Point in their network.  Thanks in advance!

Jim
