    How is your router supposed to know which giaddr to use when it sees an
incoming DHCP broadcast? If you have something like a Cisco (you mentioned
ip-helper), only the primary address is used in DHCP forwarding. If you put
two ip-helper statements on your interface, both of your DHCP servers will
see all requests. 

    You need some other mechanism to decide which requests each server should
handle.
