Re: Adding a second domain.


If the DHCP servers are connected to the same switch, you won't have any way
of separating the clients. DHCP is broadcast based, and the first DHCP
server that responds to a request will issue the IP address, no knowing or
caring which subnet the computer requesting the address is supposed to be
in. This is also true if you use a router with both interfaces plugged into
the same switch. You will need to physically or logically (VLANs) contain
broadcasts for each subnet. But do you need two domains? or two subnets? You
don't have to have both. You can have two domains in the same subnet. Both
domains will show up in the browser (My Network Places), but domain
membership and permissions will prevent users from different domains from
being able to access resources in the other. If you need one-way permissions
between domains, you can create a one-way trust.
