IIRC the reply goes out to an address of 255.255.255.255 (since
the client doesn't have an IP yet).  There are servers (or
clients?) which hear the question but aren't able to deliver the
answer.  Setting a route to host 255.255.255.255 through the
server's NIC will help.  But please don't ask me what to do on an
multihomed DHCP server, I tend to set up a separate relay in
these cases (which doesn't need any maintenance besides just
starting the service).

     If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above
             ask your parents or an adult to help you.
