If your host is passing the dhcp requests correctly, you should see them
exiting the host via the interface re0

A
        tcpdump -i re0 port 67 or port 68
should show such requests.

Eventually, you can run a similar requests on the virtual machine and on
any machine on your LAN. dhcp requests are broadcasted so any device
connected on your LAN would receive them.

You should see the dhcp request packet on the VM and on the host
interfcae re0 at the same time.
