At the edge of each VLAN, an instance
of router subinterface is obviously needed.
You can configure at each subinterface
ip helper address pointing to a real dhcp
server located anywhere.
Router then forwards any dhcp requests
broadcasted by stations in vlans with
apopriate subnet info, that dhcp server can
use a defined scope for each vlan.
Server than answers with lease data to the
requestor via directed broadcast.
(im not sure if such way)
For example NT dhcp server service
works flawlessy with such topology,
with many different scopes.
