The DHCP Relay Agent listens for DHCP requests on all interfaces
attached to a host, or only on those interfaces specified on the
attached to a host, unless one or more interfaces are specified on the
command line with the

Dhcrelay will normally run in the foreground until it has configured
an interface, and then will revert to running in the background.

The name of at least one DHCP server to which DHCP and BOOTP requests
should be relayed must be specified on the command line.
