Currently I have my DHCP Server assigning a gateway to all of it's clients. This gateway gives everyone internet access. Is it possible to tell the DHCP server which range of IP addresses that you want to have the gateway assigned to? My problem is that I don't want everyone to have internet access and therefore I'd like the DHCP Server to only assign the gateway to a specific range. Is this even possible?

It possible but not very practical. I've done that before, as a temporary solution, but anyone with the right privledges and knowledge can get to the internet if properly motivated.
It would be more secure to configure the gateway to allow only known IP addresses out and deny everything else.
