You are not alone ;-) I try set up DHCP server on -current and find
that DHCP server write log "Reply to the bootp client...", but it's
didn't send any reply packet to bootp/dhcp clints. (You can see by
"tcpdump -i ed0 port 67" ).  So my quick investigation, it seems
to write(ether_write) to interface in dhcps.c without error but
not sending any actual packet. So might be problem in kernel.

Sure. (Even you don't use dhcp relay, you need empty file for
/etc/dhcpdb.relay.)

Another secret that I found. "ipad" fieled should NOT be place on
end of line, otherwise you will got syntax error.

  i.e.

    129: :hstn=hmasaki:tblc=spec-net:\
         :clid="1:0x0040c7575d82":ipad=202.32.13.129:
                          |
                          V
    129: :ipad=202.32.13.129:hstn=hmasaki:tblc=spec-net:\
         :clid="1:0x0040c7575d82":
