Odd DHCP relay issue Nexus 6004 w/vrf

I am trying to enable DHCP relay in a VRF (stays within the VRF no intra) but I'm seeing some odd behavior that I'm having trouble figuring out.

The client is attached to a subinterface, the server is attached to a network that attaches to a different subinterface in the same VRF, the server receives the DHCP discover and sends an offer but it never arrives at the client.  Using Ethanalyser and ERSpan I have discovered:

- Client dhcp discover to broadcast (Seen in ERSpan)

- Relay forwards broadcast to server (Seen in ERSpan and Ethanalyser)

- Server accepts discover and sends offer to relay (Seen in DHCP server logs)

- Offer arrives at relay (Seen in Ethanalyser and ERPSpan)

- Relay sends offer to broadcast (Seen in Ethanalyser but not ERSpan)

It looks like the offer is send but I can't see it leaving the subinterface.

I'm at a loss as to what else to do to troubleshoot.

Mmacdonald,

Can you post your configurations for this? Also, can both VRFs talk to each other?
