Yes you can. Configure the subnet in your  config file as you would a 
local subnet. In the router that connects  the subnet to the rest of 
your network you will need to configure a "dhcp helper address"  this 
address will be the address of your dhcp server . The idea is that the 
router will see the broadcasts from a booting pc and will encapsulate 
them and send them directly to your dhcp server.  The dhcp  responses 
will go back via that same route.

Do NOT use the "shared" attribute for this.  This attribute is for 
another situation.
