Question 1:

I don't know why you're occasionally having relaying problems...

Question 2: I have dhcpd setup to dynamically assign the IP addresses on
the internal network and for that purpose it works fine (most of the
workstations are a mix of windows 2000, windows xp and windows millenium).
But I can't seem to get DNS and the gateway passed to the workstations. For example, in the beginning of this email where the configuration is
described, the gateway is 192.168.0.1 -- how do I pass this and the dns
information to the workstations so that the ip and dns can automatically
be set rather than setting each machine manually.

See an example file below, with three subnets. Note that the machine name -> IP mappings are defined in DNS in my case, and that DNS server happens to be on the DHCP server machine. I suspect that /etc/hosts entries on the DHCP server would work as well, but I haven't tested that configuration.
