Keep things simple - as always.
Set up the foreign controller with the Guest SSID.
Point this SSID to the management interface.
Create a mobility group and add the anchor controller to the group.
On the SSID - set it to point to the anchor controller.
On the anchor controller set up an interface for the Guest SSID.
Point the interface to a DHCP server, be it external or the controller itself.
Set up the Guest SSID and point it at the interface.
Create the mobility group and add the foreign controller to the group.
Make sure the data and control paths come up.
Set your DHCP scope.
Point the anchor controller guest SSID to be 'local' (On the WLAN page - far right drop down arrow).
It should work - no need for an interface on the foreign. Everything is tunnelled via the management interface to the anchor. Any problems - email me!
