Usually, there's something called a DHCP or BOOTP proxy or relay.  You 
tell your router to forward all the DHCP/BOOTP client requests to the 
real DHCP/BOOTP server on its subnet.  You'd have only 1 DHCP/BOOTP 
server.

This is common & a standard router feature.  I think Cisco calls it a 
BOOTP relay.

Unless your really want multiple, syncronized DHCP servers?  I could 
see that in a WAN, but not on a LAN.  Well, if there was alot of 
latency.
