If you want to assign IP's with DHCP via hardware addresses, that can be done.
I know you can tell the DHCP server to give out a specific IP for each
hardware address. That can be done by using the
hardware ethernet & fixed-address options.
Another problem you will run into with running 2 DHCP servers on the same
network is which DHCP server will serve the request to the computer.
You are almost asking for more trouble by doing that.
Why do you need 2 DHCP servers on the same network? Why can't you just use 1
DHCP server?
