   Ah.  Whenever I have configured Cisco router, I have been able to 
configure the relay function
   per-VLAN rather than per port.  If that’s a possibility for you, it 
may be interesting.  From
   what you say, router isn’t currently separating the VLANs.

   I’ve never used option 82 with a host { } declaration, and don’t 
know how to.
   I suspect that the place to put the option-82 filtering may be in the
   subnet { } declaration rather than in the host { } declaration 
itself.

   It may be that your best solution is to take courage from Patrick 
Trapp’s
   assurance the option 82 works, and debug as he suggests.

   I’m sorry that I’m not able to offer a solution.

   Best regards,
