DHCP Server on a Cisco 3640 Router

Hi,

I have a Cisco 3640 router with multiple subnets configured, Dot1 Q Tagged VLans. I have setup a DHCP server for VLAN 3, and it is working fine. My question is, can you have multiple DHCP services running on the same router, one for each subnet? If so, will each subnet get the correct IP Address asigned to it. Partial config listed below.

!
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.3.1 192.168.3.19
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.3.250 192.168.3.254
!
ip dhcp pool tcs192
   network 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0
   domain-name tcs192
   dns-server 216.x.x.x 216.xx.x
   default-router 66.x.86.x
   lease 3

lrmoore, thanks for the information.  I see you have
default-router 172.16.x.x  <== use this router's interface IP for that VLAN
listing the IP for the routers int for the subnet.
In the config I posted, I have the default-router as
default-router 66.x.86.x <=== IP of default gateway/route to the outside/ISP.
If I understand this correctly, I should change that to the routers IP for the VLAN INT,
and the routers gateway of last resort will handle routeing to the outside world/ISP.
I do have NAT configured for both the public, and private IP's.

   default-router 66.x.86.x

Absolutely, you should change the scope that you already have to reflect the vlan interface IP as the clients' gateway. The default gateway must be on the same subnet as the client.
Having the default gateway of the router itself pointing to the public ip 66.xx.86.x is all you need

Again, thanks for all your help.
One last question, with regard to excluded address, I take it you just add as many lines as needed for the differnet subnets?

!
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.3.1 192.168.3.19
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.3.250 192.168.3.254
!
ip dhcp excluded-address 172.31.3.1 172.31.3.19
ip dhcp excluded-address 172.31.3.250 172.31.3.254
!

etc...
You got it...

-Cheers!
