[c-nsp] bridgeing /dhcp problems

I am new to this forum and not very seasoned with Cisco equip. I am the 
Systems Admin of a small Iowa ISP we have recently had to had the capability 
of OC3 to our network so that we can carry enough bandwidth. for this 
purpose we purchased a Cisco 7120 OC3  Router off of eBay. the equipment 
seems to work as best I can tell. It is currently running version 12.3 of 
the IOS. More info available in the Config that I have also posted.

here is what I have going on currently on our network.

we have one rack of servers connected to a hub as well as 2 Cisco routers 
( a 2620 and the new7120) currently the 2620 will handle all of the outbound 
traffic until we can switch people over to the new Router.

here is the scenario I am having problems with. The teleco I work with has I 
believe a teliant 5000 that they are handing off to me via fiber a point to 
point vc which carries a single DSL customer. I take that vc on a sub 
interface of my OC3 interface which is in a bridge group. when the OC3 was 
the only interface in the bridge group I was unable to ping the rest of my 
router from the DSL modem, so I added the FE port to the bridge this allows 
a statically assigned machine off of the modem to ping and get to the rest 
of the world. however the problem I am running into is when they try to 
DHCP. some times I get a quick response from my DHCP server and some times I 
get a slow response 2+ min. also regardless of how long it takes for the 
DHCP to come back sometimes the modem will not know how to get out to the 
rest of the world. I don't really know what to check or change to resolve 
these two problems. what info other than the config would be useful to see?
