[Openswan Users] dhcp over ipsec

[Ken Bantoft]

I'm running it at the office for Windows users (DHCP over IPsec)

We are using SSH Sent 1.4.1, as we ran into problems with earlier 
versions.

We found that you CAN'T run the dhcp server on the same box as the 
dhcprelay/Openswan.  As soon as we moved DHCP to another, it all worked.  
Didn't have time to figure out why this is the case.
