Thanks for your replies. I managed to solve this by installing the
Solaris 10 DHCP server on the firewall node and enable the Relay
option.

Installed on the firewall node? I have no idea what that means. You just
put a normal DHCP Server on a normal IP Segment with a normal Nic just like
you would any PC. VLANs are pretty much irrelevant,...it doesn't matter if
the cable segmenting is physical or virtual.

Works great without messing around with superscopes.

Superscopes are only for Multi-Netting which is not what is being done here.
Multi-Nets are "old school" that go back before the invention of VLANing.
VLANing has pretty much wiped out the reason for Multi-Nets to ever exist,
and hence, the reason to ever need a Superscope. The whole Superscope
feature could be completely removed from the DHCP Service and left out in
later versions and life would go on. Even back when Multi-Netting was
popular I probably would never have one,...there are simply just too many
good ways to avoid using such a bad networking topology.
