Configure DHCP on Backup Domain Controller at Remote Site

I just built the backup domain controller 2008 at remote site including DNS, GC. GP. I want to configure DHCP on this DC so that if the main site is down, other remote site still have connection using this backup domain controller. Computer clients are using DHCP to obtain IP address. Could you provide me some resources how to do this task.
Thank you

Do we need to configure the second DHCP on backup domain controller at remote site? The remote clients are using the DHCP. If the main site down, they don't have the network connection. We plan that if the main site down, they can have the network connection using the second DHCP at remote site. I don't know how to do that. I have researched online but i don't see any document how to do that. if you know whare i can have it, please show me.
Thanks

We have about 10 remote sites but we need only one second DHCP at one of these remote sites.It has the different subnet with main site.
Just start up the Add Roles Wizard in Server 2008. Select DHCP. It will help you devide scopes.
Please go through above link which posted by me(How to Setup DHCP Server in windows server 2008 Step by step Guide),  that will give you all answer with GUI steps about how to configure DHCP, how to Create new scope for different subnet.
I got it now.
Thanks for your ideas
