Please add support for Option 82 to AIX DHCP Server Process

Please add support for DHCP option 82 (i.e. the DHCP Relay Agent information option) to the AIX DHCP Server daemon (/usr/sbin/dhcpsd) so that it correctly handles requests from clients that are received via a DHCP relay agent (such as a Juniper router) which are option 82 enabled.

    At this stage I only require the DHCP server to echo back the option 82 to the DHCP relay device. This should solve my immediate issue whereby my Juniper SRX routers which are acting as DHCP relay agents are dropping DHCP offers from the server which have had the option 82 removed.

    Do you just want the AIX DHCP server to echo back the option as stated in RFC 3046? Or do you want the server to act differently in the presence of particular suboptions?
