Yep, that'll work just fine with a couple conditions.  First you have to put
a ip helper-address command on the ethernet interface of the remote router
and the scope you setup for the remote office has to have a higher IP number
than the scope you're providing on the local network.  Here's a sample that
will hopefully make sense:

DHCP server:  10.10.10.100 255.255.255.0
E0 address of remote router:  10.10.11.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper address on e0: ip helper-address 10.10.10.100
Two scopes on the DHCP server:
10.10.10.10-10.10.10.50  gateway=10.10.10.1
10.10.11.10-10.10.11.50  gateway=10.10.11.1

A client on the remote network sends a broadcast looking for a DHCP server.
The router sees the broadcast and forwards it to 10.10.10.100.  The DHCP
server sees a broadcast coming from the router with along with info from the
router saying the packet came from the 10.10.11.0 network.  The DHCP server
responds with a 10.10.11.0 address.

The reason the remote scopes have to be a higher IP number is because a
standard local broadcast doesn't really mention where it's being sent from
so the DHCP server blindly sends an address from the lowest numbered scope
as a default.

If you're using WINS you'll also want to add:
no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-ns
no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-dgm
to your router config....otherwise you'll get lots of master broweser
elections that'll fill up your event logs.

Hope this helps!
Daniel

No you haven't been doing that thing with the fumes.  On Windows NT Server's
DHCP Manager I know that you can use a NetBIOS scope ID to assign IP
addresses to different subnets/networks.  I don't know much about other DHCP
management software.  Maybe someone else can point you in the right
direction.

Ladies and Gents,


        This would be the first time trying to set this up,  I have a remote
office with a frame-erlay link between them and the corporate site. The dhcp
server is at the corporate site, I would like to it up that the users at the
remote site uses a certain dhcp pool on that server.  I have heard you can
set it up so that a certain address pool will only assign address when the
request comes through a certain router(i.e. the remote router). Does this
make any sense or have I been inhaling too many paint fumes again?  Any help
would be great, thanks.
