I think there's an RFC that supports the authorisation thing. So any
compliant DHCP servers will respect the DS authorisation required aspect.
However, I'm sure there are also servers that don't respect this aspect of
the service and therefore, as Ryan stated, simply respond regardless.

Nothing at all if it is on the same subnet. The clients are actually
responsible for sending out broadcasts to locate a DHCP server and the first
to respond wins.
With VLANs and multiple subnets, your IP Helper lines in the routers/
switches will direct DHCP requests to specific servers.
