DHCP With Two NICs and Two Subnets

I have a Win2k3 AD network.

Two Vlans/subnets.

A DHCP server with one NIC serving out both subnets. I want to install
a second NIC on the second subnet to only serve out DHCP address to
that subnet. So one NIC for one subnet. I'm fairly certain that this is
possible. Do I need to configure the DHCP server any different?

As long as the second NIC is actually connected to and has an IP address on
the subnet it will respond to discover broadcasts by providing an IP from
the scope for that subnet. If however, a request is received from a relay
agent, the server will respond with an IP from the scope which matches the
IP of the interface on which the discover request was received.
