OT:Catalyst and DHCP forwarding.

I realise it's a little off topic but thought I'd give you all a crack at this
one.

I have a colleague who has been configuring 2 2950's. They are connected
together via a dot1q trunk and they both have just 2 VLAN's. Two PC's on
separate VLAN's on S1 can get DHCP addresses from servers in S2 which are in
the same VLAN's - i.e. PC 1 and Server 1 in VLAN 1, PC 2 and server 2 in VLAN
2 - no intervlan routing.

This all works fine on 12.05, however when he upgrades to 12.1 (he tried 4
versions) the PC in VLAN 2 can no longer get an IP address from the DHCP
server, VLAN 1 works fine. Interestingly, pings within VLAN 2 work fine if he
gives the PC a static address.

He has had this same issue with 3550's and 4500's as well on 2 other sites -
if anybody has done this uograde and had this same issue we'd love to here
from you and how you got round it.

The configs are below, the only thing I can see are portfast on the trunk and
no switchport mode access on the access ports. As I said previously it's only
when he upgrades that he has these problems - they work fine on 12.05.
