man dhcpd.conf

see shared-network

it's what's you need

Thank you. I don't know how I missed that in the man page. It was the
first thing I saw when I opened it. I think I got a little thrown off
when I saw so many sources (including isc's web page in certain
places) saying that you need 2 physical interfaces, but I knew it
could be done somehow.

For those who would like to see the working config.
