DHCP over VPN - new DHCP scope question

I have a VPN which is set up to link a head office with a branch office.

Our DNS server at the head office has an IP of 192.168.16.10
There is a DHCP Scope that has a pool that allocates the range 192.168.16.100 - 192.168.16.150 to clients.

Our VPN router has an IP of 192.168.16.1

I have set this up very simply - VPN router to VPN router across the internet.

At our branch office we have NO DHCP server. Our VPN router is allocated an IP of 192.168.60.1.

I would like our clients at the branch office to be allocated an IP by our DHCP server at the Head office in the range 192.168.16.x when they boot their machine. I have configured the routers correctly to allow this but have been advised by the routers manufacturer that I will need to add an additional DHCP pool to the server to allocate IPs correctly.

The router I have used are a pair of Draytek Vigor 2830n.

Can anyone help me with the DHCP configuration on the server?

Hi,

Have you considered using the DHCP server function built into the Vigor 2830n? That would allow you to assign IP addresses directly at the branch office.

Then I would have two DHCP servers on the same network allocating a similar range?
I would like my remote clients to be on the same subnet as my head office clients.
