Help with DHCP/BOOTP

I'm trying to set up in.dhcpd on Solaris 8 to serve primarily as a BOOTP
server for a number printers we have scattered around. Our router forwards
all BOOTP requests to this server.
I've set up the networks and addresses, and made sure the service is
started and enabled. The server is set for Manual BOOTP Compatibility, but
it doesn't seem to answer the BOOTP requests. When I run in.dhcpd in debug
mode, it logs the following (IPs changed to protect the innocent):

 Packet received from relay agent: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
 Datagram received on network device: hme0
 BOOTP client: 080009A2AD65 is looking for a configuration.

But that client is defined in a configuration file:

123_123_123_123
--------------------------
080009A2AD65 11 123.123.123.222 111.111.111.111 0
123.123.123.123

In DHCP manager, I defined this client ID as reserved, permanent, and only
for BOOTP clients.

What do I need to do to make in.dhcpd answer these requests? Am I missing
something?

Thanks,
Thomas Carter
