Except unicast traffic of course, unless the relays are expected to 
interfere with such as well. This means the DHCP server will need to 
stash the relay options (a common problem with DHCP option 82).

It's also worth asking whether DHCPv6 server operators would like to 
know the source layer2 info as the relay saw it, as the client claims 
it, or both.
