Do you mean that you use the standalone fail_mode of an OVS bridge, i.e., with
a rule of action "NORMAL" installed by default?

If the answer to my question above is yes, then you can simply achieve what you
want by installing another rule preventing ingress udp traffic with
source port 68
from the GRE port, with a higher priority than the default "NORMAL" one. This
makes both networks not receiving DHCPDISCOVER messages from the other end,
and so do the two DHCP servers.
