I have a newtwork with multiple domain, two of which are
connected on the same physical infrastructure. I want to
have one office receive its DHCP from a particular server
but right now, due to a hop in the network, the office is
receiving its DHCP from the wrong address. How do I
specify which DHCP server takes priority for a particular
domain?

Thanks,
 
DHCP is related to segments (wether logical or physical). There is
absolutley no relationship between Domains and DHCP. The real concern is
what scope the machine receive an address from, not which DHCP Server. A
single DHCP Server can server multiple segments as long as the Queries are
relay to it and it has a scope that matches the segment.

But if you want a Server for each segment then put each server in the
segment it is to serve and do not allow any router to relay DHCP Queries (by
default they do not anyway). This means of course that each AD Domain must
exits in it's own exclusive segment. You can't have Domain Members wondering
around in other segment because they will get thier address from the DHCP
that server the segment they are in,...it is just that simple.
