In order to accomplish this, you will need to VLAN your network so that Domain A uses a different network than Domain B.  In this way, you are able to have the correct DHCP server respond to clients in their appropriate domain and provide the client with the correct DNS server to use.

It can be accomplished with one DHCP server, but if you are going to VLAN then you might as well deploy DHCP on each domain.
