Firstly, I would suggest disabling the DHCP on the modem, and moving it
to your Linux router. More control that way, and better flexibility.

If you really wanted DHCP to work across broadcast domains (across
routers), then you can install dhcp-relay on the Linux router. Under
Debian, you can use the dhcp3-relay package. Otherwise, it may come in
your dhcp server package.
