It can do - as in both subnets need to have their DNS server
correctly declared, or automatically determinable.
If your DNS is all set up correctly, and you don't use signed
updates, then the DHCP server will determine the server itself (IIRC
it looks up the SOA record for the domain and uses the master defined
there). If you use signed updated, or there is anything wrong with
your DNS, then you need to define every zone that your will be
updating.
Looking back at your original message, I now see that you appear to
be using 10.10.8.0/21 and 10.10.96.0/22 for your clients, and your
server is at 172.30.8.4.
Your dhcp server must know the master DNS for the zones "test.bogus"
(assuming test.bogus is used for both subnets); and
x.10.10.in-addr.arpa (where x is 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 96,
97, 98, 99) OR just 10.10.in-addr.arpa if you use one big zone for
10.10.x.y.
It might help if you post your dhcp config file (obviously you can
replace security keys with 'xxxx' and so on).
