So client network <-> relay agent <-> DHCP server

To handle that you just don't need to do anything other than define the subnet(s). If the network (specifically the relay agent) is correctly configured then "it just works" and you definitely don't need any shared networks or address assignment logic.

Sorry, I really have no idea what that means !
