Cisco is developing a DHCP server that gracefully handles secondary addresses 
on routers.  We allow users to allocate addresses from multiple networks and 
subnets.  If you are interested in beta testing this product please send me 
e-mail at sylvester@cisco.com.  The DHCP support Windows NT and several unix 
platforms.
