Domain Controller with multiple network interfaces
I have two DCs which have network interfaces on two or three different VLANs. I only need a response on the corporate LAN, but the other VLAN is for VOIP and one server has a third network for VLANed...
Sounds good, just don't multi-home your domain controllers.

Multi-homing a domain controller will always cause no end to grief for active directory domain DNS. Better option is to install the viop software on another instance of windows.
Thank you... The other networks are on the DC because it's also doing DHCP. Should I have a separate DHCP server in the VOIP VLAN to provide addressing to the phones?
Better option is to use layer 3 routing hardware for this purpose. If you must do it on windows then use another member server for this role.
- Thanks. We have L3 switches so I'm not sure what has been done. Can you refer me to any best practice?
Your router should have a dhcp relay agent option.
