Completely turning this around, there is another option - though
whether it's both practical and permissible depends on the
environment and administrative regime the OP works in.
If he replaces the remote DHCP gateways with a small device running
linux, and runs the DHCP Relay agent on that, then he could implement
rate throttling on that using the methods already described. At the
remote network, he will have the correct device MAC address in the
packet headers.
