    Not so uncommon scenario:

    ISP->Home router->LAN 1->Inner Router->LAN 2

    The official way of having LAN 2 have a consistent way of managing dynamic addresses is prefix delegation. Home Router 1 gets
    an assignment from the ISP. Then Inner Router gets an assignment from Home Router. Otherwise, if the ISP block changes, the
    addresses in LAN 2 get stale and you are not Internet routable anymore.

    two things:
    use only one DHCP server.
    shorten your DHCP lease times.

    i won't say anything about everyone being taken in by the sales talk and "router this", "router that" muckity muck... one only truely needs switches on their different networks and they might should reconsider how their LANs
    are connected... here, we have all of our LANs originating at one device... that one device handles everything for each LAN and each LAN is quite separate and distinct from the others... but that's just us...

    Sure, but you often want every segment administrated by a different person. Or separated at a logical level beyond having a single device take care of every address assignment.

    dude, we're talking about home and small business, here... you're talking larger business stuff and for that there's commercial rates and really proper ISP configurations... a small business and home setup won't have multiple
    people to handle multiple LAN segments... i mean...
