[Nagiosplug-help] check_dhcp across subnets

[Ian Rarity]

DHCP requests won't get passed outside the subnet that they're
broadcasted in unless you specifically tell your routers to do so.  I
wouldn't recommend that, though; you're probably better off using NRPE
or something similar to do the check on the remote serer and pass the
result back to your Nagios box.

IR.

I am using the latest check_dhcp plugin (check_dhcp v1810
nagios-plugins 
1.4.11). It works fine on the local subnet. I can't get it to work 
across subnets to remote dhcp servers. Am I missing or not
understanding 
something?
