DHCP superscope

Hello,

I am trying to figure out if my following scenario needs a superscope or
not. I currently I have an office broken into 2 subnets. one subnet is the
192.168.25.x subnet and the other is 192.168.26.x. The Server 2003 DHCP
server is onthe 25.x subnet. Between the subnets is a Cisco router enabled as
a DHCP relay passing traffic from the 26.x subnet to the DHCP server on the
25 network . I have 2 scopes, one for the 25 and the 26 network. Is there an
advantage to put both these scopes on a superscope, or is a superscope used
for a different scenario? Any help would do. Thanks.

No SuperScopes.

Superscopes are for Multi-Nets. You don't have a Multi-Net. If you don't
know what a Multi-Net is,...don't ask and feel blessed.

You use a separate independent Scope for each subnet and set your LAN Router
to forward the DHCP Queries from the opposite subnets to the DHCP Server.
It really is just that simple.
