I would like to restrict DHCP services by workstation MAC address. I
would like for dhcpd to only respond to work stations with a known MAC
address.

I used iptables rules to ACCEPT requests to the DHCP server only from
the known MAC address(es) and this works fine for workstations on the
same subnet as the DHCP server. However, when I expand the service to
multiple subnets across a router the DHCP request packet comes through
with the MAC address of the router port so my iptables rule does not
stop it.

Obviously, dhcpd knows the workstation MAC address, but I don't know
how I can get/use the information to accomplish what I want. Is it
possible to do what I am trying to do? 

In case you're wondering, the reason I'm trying to do this is to
prevent people from brining their virus infected laptops onto campus and
having them start broadcasting all over our nice clean network.
