That will be two different interfaces, but dhcrelay and dhcpd still
conflict. There is this notion of a "fallback" socket in dhcpd/dhcrelay.
Each creates a "fallback" socket bound to 0.0.0.0.bootps. That is the
problem. I am hacking the relay and server to get around that.

Sort of an esoteric IP & IP implementation question that comes up
as I hack the relay and server is, If I've bound UDP sockets to
192.168.1.1.bootps and 0.0.0.0.bootps, will both sockets receive
UDP packets addressed to 192.168.1.1.bootps? Which socket or sockets
receive UDP packets addressed to 255.255.255.255.bootps? Addressed to
192.168.1.255.bootps (i.e., the broadcast for 192.168.1/24) ?
