You're still wrong, on multiple accounts.

The DHCP agent is needed because at the time the client sends a DHCP 
DISCOVER it's using 0.0.0.0 as it's source and sending to 
255.255.255.255, which are not routed IPs.

And DHCP is routable, as I and others have told you.

I'm done telling you and going to start treating you like a troll.
