It would be a lot easier to just place the supervisors on a separate IP
subnet from the employees. I would not deploy two domains just to solve
this problem.

To deploy two IP subnets:

On your DHCP server, configure one scope for the supervisors' subnet and
one scope for the employees' subnet, using different IP address ranges for
each. (Or use two DHCP servers, one on each subnet. If you use only one
DHCP server, make sure that the router between subnets has DHCP forwarding
enabled.)

For the supervisors' subnet scope, use the DHCP Routers scope option to
provide clients on the superv's subnet with the IP address of the default
gateway to the Internet. If you are using Windows Server 2003 DHCP, you can
configure scope options while setting up each scope using the New Scope
Wizard. (For more info see Help topic "To install a DHCP server.")

On the empl. subnet, do not provide this scope option.

Make sure you configure options at the scope level rather than the server
level, or you will accidentally provide empl.'s with the IP address of the
default gateway.
