BOOTP/DHCP Forwarding on Routers

I am looking for the instructions on how to setup 2 Windows 2003 Server to
supply IP addresses for multiple subnets across a Router, different
buildings. I have an idea on how to do this, but if there is a guideline
Document with steps to work from I would like to review this before I go
production.

Thanks
 
There isn't much to it. You just configure the Router to forward the DHCP
Queries to the DHCP Server(s). Some Routers only forward the Queries the the
subnet the DHCP Servers are on,...some Routers can do it either way.

As far as the servers,..configure them identically, ... same scopes,... same
everything.
Create Exclusions for each Scope on each server so that each server gives
out 50% of the available addresses.

I thought so. Thanks

And I guess one of my buildings where I have 2 subnets set up as a
superscope is setup the same way on the new server, as a superscope.

No. No Superscopes! That is not what they are for. I can't scream that loud
enough. Superscopes are rarely used and are for Multi-Netting and you are
not Multi-Netting.
