Sorry for the multiple post the date was off on my computer



I have been given an office to manage that has 300 users with static IP.
The first this I did was set up a DHCP server however the network is
set up with two totally different IP address. I have one of the segments on
the DHCP server. Now I am looking to get the other one going. My first
thought was to multi home the server and set up two scopes. The other though
was to change the segments to one using the subnet mask.



I am looking for some suggestions. Witch would be the best path? What are
the down falls?
 
There really isn't a single "right way". What is separating the 2
segments? You can host multiple scopes on different subnets using a dhcp
relay agent. See:

You may want to keep the networks segmented for performance reasons.
