Looking at the dhcp address range, the gateway is in the network. But
that 172.27.4.1 is not.

I'm wondering if the gateway is also on the 172.27.4.0/24 network on
another nic but badly misconfigured or it's using multiple IPs per nic.
That will totally crap out dhcp discover.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
