dhcpd doesn't acknowledge dhcp requests

[dave c]

Sean,

I don't see a subnet defined for the 10.64.0.104 local subnet.

Without it, broadcasts aren't going to get answered as there is no dhcpd pool or configuration 
telling it to answer local requests.

Alternatively, if you wanted the devices to use an IP Helper, as long as the request comes from 
an IP address including in one of your subnets, it will get linked to that network and if rules 
are passed allowing an answer, you will get your dhcp answer at the remote device.

Try adding something like the following:

subnet 10.64.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {  # obviously if this isn't a /24, then adjust as needed
     authoritative;
     option routers 10.64.0.1;
     option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
     min-lease-time 14400;
     default-lease-time 14400;
     range 10.64.0.5 10.64.0.10;
}
