DHCP and multiple DNS servers

I need some advice configuring DHCP with two different DNS requirements.
I need all Windows machines to get a Windows server DNS for active-directory purposes. I want all other machines, linux, phones, etc to get sophos for DNS.

I tried to do this using DHCP "server" scopes, but it always offered the same entry to every client, even on different nets.

To make it worse, I can't hard-code the dns entry on the windows machines because sometimes laptops are offsite and connected to wifi, guest lans, etc.

I prefer anyone who CAN use the sophos dns to use it, so lessen the exposure to the Windows servers.

What does everyone else on do here? Best practice?

Unfortunately I think you'll have to run a separate DHCP server to get the features you want.

I recently lamented the DHCP limitations of the UTM in another thread. (https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/52/t/29186)

Feel free to give some Feature votes at Enable additional functionality in the WebAdmin interface for the integrated ISC DHCP server. and ping your reseller/support (if you can) to get the desire for a a fuller DHCP featureset on their radars.
