Serving two subnets on same VLAN

Assume that a router is configured with three interfaces:

10.0.1.1/24 (primary interface)
192.168.1.1/24 (secondary interface)
192.168.2.1/24 (secondary interface)

The router is configured to be a DHCP relay; however, only sends
requests from its primary interface (10.0.1.1). Therefore, the DHCP
server only responds with addresses from that pool. However, clients
can access the network via either of the secondary interfaces if they
had a proper address.

Is there a way to configure the DHCP server to recognize that requests
relayed by 10.0.1.1 can be fulfilled by IP address from all three
pools?

Hope this makes sense, thanks!

Norman
