[nsp] ip helper-address
Quick question:

If I configure multiple ip helper-addresses, will the router:
a) forward the packet to the first configured
b) forward to all
c) forward to one at a time, round robin

My strong suspicion is b, my hope is c. Does anyone know for certain?

it will forward to all. if you have multiple secondary addresses, and
you are receiving DHCP Discover / BOOTP requests, then we will set the
GIADDR field in the proxied DHCP Discover / BOOTP request to each of
the configured subnets in a round robin basis.
