    Let's see if I understand what you want.
    You don't want to (or can't) change the config on the dhcp server
    servering the (main) network, but you want to set up some thin clients
    and they need to be served in a special way by a dhcp server.

    I *think*, you can do that. I haven't tried it. In my dhcp server, I
    set each thin client up in a separate host section. I serve my thin
    clients by mac address and use static ip addresses for them (and
    sometimes some host specific options). I also serve the 'regular'
    network clients with this dhcp server in a subnet section. If I pulled
    that subnet section out, I *think* it would no longer serve the regular
    network but would serve the individual hosts that were defined. Maybe
    someone with more dhcp knowledge could answer that for sure.
