Binding 2 DHCP Scopes to diffrent interfaces

Here is my dilema since i can't use a relay agent/router
1. Two DHCP scopes on the same W2K3 DHCP server, 10.x.x.y and 20.x.x.y
2. The said server has two Nic's, one each of the networks it's
servcing i.e. 10.x. and 20.x.

How do i bind each dhcp scope to it's own nic without using a relay
agent.

A more painful solution would to use vmware and run a virtual server,
create a single scope and bind it to the desired nic. Make sense ?

Thier much be an easier way !

You don't have to. As long as the DHCP service is bound to both NICs it
will automatically respond to a discover packet by providing an IP from the
scope which matches the IP upon which the server received the discover
packet. With a Relay Agent the DHCP server responds with an IP from the
scope which matches the IP upon which the Relay Agent received the discover
packet.
