You would apply these to the closest interface to the intended clients.
Basically what the helper address does is takes the broadcast (which the
router will not forward) and turns it into the unicast address defined in
the helper-address command. Hence this needs to be at the point where the
packet first enters a router.

                Folks, using the follow "topology":

                --R0_Eth0--| Router0 |
-R0_S0-------------PPP--------------R1_S0 | Router1 |
                -----R1_Eth0

                I just have configured DHCP server on Router 0, and i have
dhcp Wks clients in
                R1_Eth0.

helper-address X.y.z.w"
                command and "ip dhcp-server x.y.z.w" command for suplly the
ip address to
                Workstations on R1_eth0 ?
