I know that is what I need to solve, but I cannot guess what is
wrong because my scenario is quite simple:
   
CLIENT -    net1    - RELAY -    net2    - SERVER
 
The server configuration only defines the remote subnet (net1). 
It has no subnets defined for DHCP at local interfaces (net2).
I looked for an explanation at the code and then I found what I
reported in my first post: the request is being discarded 
because the server receives the packet through a local 
interface (connected to net2) with no shared network associated.
 
The content of the DHCPREQUEST is:
- ciaddr = IP of the valid lease
- yiaddr = siaddr = giaddr = 0
- client HW address
- options: 53 and 55
