How would I do this?

[E Johnson]

It sounds like this DHCP Server is very forgiving, the one in the 
router, currently being used, is not.

"use views with bind", I sorry but I don't understand, also if it makes 
a difference, I am only concerned about the network connections while 
inside the office.  Outside connections aren't allowed, but I'm sure 
that will change someday.

Thanks,
Eric Johnson
