On IRB, I *think* it must have relay-agent-option because it seems like it
wants to write the interface name in the Option 82 packet no matter what and
if the helper is stateless by itself it must somehow be able to figure out
where (what interface) to return the packet to...

With stateful dhcp relay that isn't an issue. I think it does count
licensing wise (1 address = 1 subscriber license)?
