I currently do it by getting m0n0wall on each site to do DHCP and use
DNS forwarding to point the remote sites at the local head office
domain.

I wouldn't recommend sending DHCP from one central site to all the
remote sites as you may have issues if your site to site link goes down
or you have ISP problems but that's just my 2 cents

Subject: [m0n0wall] DHCP Relay over Site-to-Site VPN Possible?

Hi,

I currently have a site to site VPN setup (Remote site and Head Office -
has
DHCP, DNS & WINS) and would like the remote site to have it receive its
DHCP
addresses from a DHCP server at the Head Office. Would you recommend
this as
a good practice or is it suggested to let mono handle the DHCP at the
remote
site and simply have the mono DHCP assign the head office DNS and WINS
addresses to clients?

I do currently work for another company that has 140 remote sites that
run 1
central DHCP server and it doesnt seem to be too laggy.

I have tried specifying the IP of the Head Office DHCP server on the
remote
monowall and allowing port 67 through to it but it hasnt worked (Yes
subnets
are mapped out in DHCP etc)

Thanks!
Jai
