Running a DHCP server on multihomed Linux

Hi

Im using openSuSE 10.3 and I have a 2 network cards :

eth0 is 10.0.0.0/8 and eth1 is 192.168.0.0/24

There is no packet forwarding between the interfaces.

Im using the DHCP server shipped with openSUSE and want to be able to
configure it so that the DHCP server listens on both interfaces and is
able to issue appropriate IP's to each network. Is it possible to do
this? Can the DHCP server work with 2 interfaces? I thought perhaps I
could configure 2 copies of the dhcp server to listen to each
interface seperately, but that seems like a crappy way doing things...

Havn't found much on this topic trawling through Google ...anyone know
where to start?
