Question : DHCP through multiple routers

I am trying pass dhcp requests through 2 cisco routers.  Here's a rough look ... end user pc ---> router 1 ---> router 2---> DHCP Server.

I have the ip helper address set to my dhcp server on router 1 with GIAddress included to pick up the different scope.  Do I need to add the ip helper address on router 2 also?  Do I need to forward the requests received by router 2?

InsightMedia - Haven't hear back from you.

When you say they aren't pulling an IP from the DHCP server, are they getting a 169.254.x.x (APIPA) address? If so that means they didn't hear back from the DHCP server. You can confirm this by running ipconfig /all at the command prompt. If it isn't a 169.254.x.x address, what address does it get? Maybe it's a problem with the DHCP scope giving the wrong Default Gateway address.
