address range ... not on net

[Benjamin Wiechman]

In the case of a shared network as described, how does the dhcp server
determine which subnet to use when assigning an address? If I would have two
subnets would it default to one until filled, then assign addresses from the
second or would I need to use classes or some other mechanism to assign
clients to one subnet or the other?

... heading to the man pages...
