Since we are nitpicking, that statement is incorrect.
Routers NEVER pass broadcast traffic (unless they are configured as a
bridge of course, but that doesn't count). They can be told to listen
for broadcast on one interface and pass unicast on the other.
Proof: on cisco, when configuring the helper address, you must provide
the ip address of DHCP, DNS etc.
Also, drop a sniffer on your network, you'll see.
