Hi,
I have a test network setup with some VLANs. Relevant here are VLANs
181 (Infrastructure) and 185 (Clients). VLAN 181 houses the
DHCP server; the router between the networks runs a DHCP relay. Both
machines are Debian jessie, DHCP server and relay are ISC DHCP 4.3.2.
My test client is an android phone and has MAC address
cc:07:ab:ac:99:7e and IP address 192.168.185.156.
All systems do run IPv6 as well, that's irrelevant here and I have
thus removed the IPv6 addresses.
Router:

Client wants to renew its lease and sends an _Unicast_ DHCP REQUEST
directly to the server that had assigned its lease. Here a tcpdump
taken on the router's int185:
|12:35:30.343624 cc:07:ab:ac:99:7e > fe:fd:22:0f:79:5e, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 353: 192.168.185.156.68 > 192.168.181.161.67: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from cc:07:ab:ac:99:7e, length 311

The DHCP relay thinks that it should play here and creates two more
instances of the DHCP REQUEST. Here a tcpdump taken on the router's
int181:
|12:35:30.343739 9a:3d:9f:63:27:ac > 52:54:00:bd:92:b1, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 353: 192.168.185.156.68 > 192.168.181.161.67: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from cc:07:ab:ac:99:7e, length 311

The DHCP server itself writes this to its logs:

I am now wondering why the DHCP relay does act on those Unicast packets
in the first place. Is it supposed to? Why does it? Why does it send
the DHCP request out twice? And what does the dhcpd mean with "wrong
network" in response to the DHCPREQUEST sent out by the relay with the
relay agent address set to the relay's int181 address?
Any hints will be appreciated.
Greetings
Marc
