You can do one of the following:

1. Segment your networks into separate subnets for each domain. Make sure
the router between the subnets is NOT doing bootp relay.
or
2. Consolidate your DHCP servers to one. If the clients are all on the same
phyical network, why use two DHCP servers and two IP addressing schemes?
