afaik, jijo is right about using a subnet block especially when using a single DHCP machine with multiple interfaces and serving multiple subnets. but in your case marvin, the interfaces of your machine belongs to the same subnet (correct me if i'm wrong).
i'm just curios, aren't you experiencing ARP Flux on your Samba/DHCP Box with this setup?

The DHCP daemon will listen to all network interfaces you have. However, you can direct it to only pay attention to requests on a particular interface by using the subnet block, as in:
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.254; option routers 192.168.0.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255; }
This will cause DHCP to only pay attention and reply to requests on the interface that is part of the network 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0.
This box has 4 interfaces but the first two interfaces will be used for DHCP and Samba (WINS) respectively. The IP addresses will be x.x.x.1 (DHCP) and x.x.x.2 (Samba - WINS) but in one box. In this case, my setup will not fit with your suggestion.
Thanks, Jijo.
