DHCP Relay device?

All,

I am trying to get DHCP configured. This is a problem, since we are using a NS500 and all of our workstations are in VLANs on sub-interfaces of the NetScreen. Since I cannot configure DHCP Relay on sub-interfaces, I would have to deploy a dedicated DHCP Relay service in each VLAN, independent of the NetScreen.

What I was wondering, is if anybody knows of the existence of a DHCP Relay 'Device', similar to those neat (and cheap) little boxes that one uses to hook a printer up to the network. If such a little gadget exists (and is affordable), it would solve my problem immediately.

I'm really not prepared to dedicate workstations/servers in each VLAN to this task, but that seems to be the only alternative.

Any suggestions are most welcome....if I am missing something, or if you think there is a better/different way to resolve this, then by all means enlighten me.

TIA,

MM
