This may or may not help, but some services require the Cisco router to
use
an iphelper address, which tells the router that if the service can not be
contacted locally, to send it to the next hop.

i know is is required for DHCP over WAN in a Cisco environment. We use
this
in our VPN at one remote site over a Comcast VPN to our main office.

That is interesting. I thought IP helper was strictly for DHCP --
essentially
a version of what Microsoft offers as a "DHCP relay agent".

What other services can take advantage of "IP Helper" on Cisco?
