I have a site which is home to multiple companies, on a broadband connection, with a single router (not doing DHCP) and a single win2k server (doing DHCP). The companies within want to split their internet provider. One company wants one ISP, another company wants a different one. Without buying a whole new server to do a separate DHCP, can I get the single server to have two DHCP scopes sending one company through one gateway and the other company through the other? Since one company is only 5 people, I thought that their scope could have all resserved addresses, while the other larger company is all dynamic. Also, they both need the server's resources, so doesn't that mean they both have to be on the same subnet?

in the most cases, Split Scopes is for fault tolerance. In your case, I believe that should work use resserved addresses/dymanic or setup two subnets.
