Dhcp / Dhcp-relay question

Hi,

I have a network at my office where i have a DHCP server, i have also
another small network at home, where my ADSL CPE can act as a DHCP
server o DHCP relay,

When acting as Server it gives the clients itself as DNS server (but
it is a bad DNS server) so I wanted to use the server at my office to
lease address trough my CPE working as dhcp-relay.

Ok,
the server at my office has to NICs

eth0 connected to the internet, and eth1 to my private network
10.1.1.0/24

My dhcpd.conf file is as follows.

ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
authoritative;
option  local-wpad      code    252     =       text;

subnet  10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# --- default gateway
        option routers                  10.1.1.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;

        option broadcast-address        10.1.1.255;

        option nis-domain               "foo.com";
        option domain-name              "foo.com";
        option domain-name-servers      166.114.152.10, 4.2.2.2;

        option time-offset              0;      # Eastern Standard Time
        option  local-wpad      "http://10.1.1.1/proxy.pac\n";

        option netbios-name-servers     10.1.1.1;

        range 10.1.1.30 10.1.1.50;
        ddns-update-style none;
        default-lease-time 604800;
        max-lease-time 252000;

}


subnet 192.168.129.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# Note: No range is given, vmnet-dhcpd will deal with this subnet.
}

When i tried to introduce here the range of the my home, following the
same model as above.

subnet the.ip.of.my.home netmask 255.255.255.240
{
etc. etc.
}

i got an error saying that, there no range configured for eth0 so
ignoring request coming to that NIC.

is this possible to do? or i am trying to do something not possible.

best regards.

Guillermo.
