RE: Cisco PIX DHCP relay via IPSEC

Sorry for the duplicate, hit send accidentally.

I'm reading the list on the archives, so somebody may have already
pointed this out.

PIX Firewall Version 6.3 provides support for DHCP relay. The DHCP relay
agent provided helps dynamically assign IP addresses to hosts on the
inside interfaces of the PIX Firewall. When the DHCP relay agent
receives a request from a host on an inside interface, it forwards the
request to one of the specified DHCP servers on an outside interface.

If that's the case then could I forward the DHCP requests across the
IPSEC tunnel?

I don't believe that the PIX can pass DHCP/bootp, but don't hold me to
that (never tried it). The remote PIX could be configured to be a DHCP
server that you can manage however, and TFTP would easily pass through
the VPN tunnel so that might be another option to address your needs.

HTH and good luck.
