So am I able to forward the broadcast DHCP traffic from my virtual /24 
to the external /28 if it's broadcast traffic?

I absolutely love it.  My soekris router's been up for 200+ days and I 
haven't had to worry about a thing.  However, we're planning on doing a 
bunch of upgrades on our other network hardware and I've got a few 
questions about how well m0n0wall can keep up.

clients behind the soekris router are then NAT'ed to the imaginary

then assigned to various server-level systems (and lastly, our upstream 
gateway is firewalled).

distribute Netboot to clients behind the soekris router.  In order to do 
that, I've got to figure out a way to allow forwarding of multicast DHCP 
traffic through the m0n0wall.  Is this even possible?  Does my version 
of m0n0wall support this kind of thing?  If not, does one of the newer 
versions?
