1 DHCP Server for 3 diff. domains

[verizon]

Hi. I have 3 different domains sharing the same network (LAN segment). One
domains is working on the 172.16.1.x, the other on 172.16.3.x, etc. There's
only one DCHP server on this segment.

Is there any way to create different scope that will serve each different
domain.

i.e

scope a 172.16.1.x ------> AA.com
scope b 172.16.2.x -------> BB.com
scope c 172.16.3.x -------> CC.com

thanks in advance

Sure - just create a scope for each. Of course each scope will need to be
routed correctly to hit the correct scope, the easiest way to do so would be
to use hardware routers to separate out the different domains.

Thanks for you quick response.

Is there any other easier way to handle this. Is there any way that we can
pass the workstation DNS suffix to the DHCP server and the address be
assigned according to this?. Any other ideas?

TIA

There is no easier way to solve the problem if you have only one DHCP
server. DHCP addresses are assigned based on the gateway address, not the
domain name. So for each domain to be able to get a distinct range of DHCP
addresses each one must be coming in from a different default gateway. The
easiest way I know of to do that is with a hardware router.
