Need to know the procedures to setup a DHCP server to hand out I.P. Addresses based on the Subnet of the requesting client. I will have routers in various location providing DHCP Relay functions to my DHCP server in a central location. I have not set this up before and any assistance is worth the points.

If you are setting up DHCP relay on the routers, everything should be ready to go. A client on a remote network will send a broadcast for IP configuration on its local subnet. The router on that subnet will pick up the request as forward it to theDHCP server. The DHCP server will check the source IP of the forwarder (the router) and determine the appropriate scope to draw the resulting license from.
