DHCP across subnets

Similar issue to another thread.

We are haveing a similar issue. What if the server does not have mulitple
adapters but is connected through a single port to a router that then goes to
multiple subnets? Are we still able to bind the DHCP scopes to the different
subnets or would we need to install a second adapter?

Yes. The server will automatically assign the correct scope to clients on
the respective subnets. To make sure that DHCP is bound to both adapters;
open the DHCP mmc; right click on the server and select Properties; click
the Advanced tab - Bindings button.

Technically you should be able to bind multiple IP's to the single NIC
to service the multiple subnets. You must have a DHCP relay agent as
well I believe. Hope that helps
