David,
The solution is simple:
1. Setup the new DHCP Server as you would normally.
2. Provide a limited scope with the same network range as that of the
router. But only give out 2 specific IP addresses - one for each PC as per
your requirements.
3. Setup static DHCP reservations for the two PCs based on the mac address
of each.
4. On the Router, exclude the 2 PCs IP Addresses.
Now whenever another device broadcasts for a DHCP address even if the new
PC-Based DHCP Server is queried it will only give an IP Address to one of
the predefined devices that have DHCP Reservations.
I think this meets all of your requirements.
Email me if you require further assistance. I'm not to bad with DHCP.
