This comes up with almost monotonous regularity on this list !

You are correct, the ISC relay agent DOES have to be configured to 
listen on both interfaces. Furthermore, there are restrictions on 
what networks types they may be due to the requirement to 
generate/handle raw packets at a low level - and only having coded 
for a very few types (eg ethernet).
