No.
Even if you did it would require and additional nic in each box.
And then even if you did you are not supposed to duel-home a Domain
Controller anyway.
> 1. Do I need to install the dhcp relay agent on each server?
No. Not even really sure what agent you are talking about, but the answer
is still "no" anyway.
The LAN Router that sits between the segments is what has to have the DHCP
Relay turned on. It is a function of the router,...not an agent. If the
router was not designed with the feature as one of its abilities then you
are screwed, and will need a new router.
So it the end all you do on the DHCP is create the Scopes (No Superscopes!)
and set the Exclusions to keep the two servers from overlaping the
addresses. All the rest of the "work" is completely performed by the LAN
Router.
