dhcrelay? or dhcprelay?

These are DHCP relay agents that are designed to allow a centralized
DHCP server that does not exist on all subnets of an organization to
receive all DHCP requests from all subnets.  You would need to install a
DHCP relay in each subnet that then has access to the subnet in which
the DHCP server resides.  There shouldn't be any need to run multiple
DHCP servers in this scenario.  You just have to configure your
dhcpd.conf file correctly.

For RedHat systems, the file to modify to start a DHCP server listening
on multiple interfaces is /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd.  If you wanted to listen
on lo, eth0, and eth2, for example, you would set:

DHCPDARGS="lo eth0 eth2"

in that file.  But if the DHCP server is only on one subnet, and you
have gateways/routers that are "bridging" their subnets with the subnet
the DHCP server is on, then you would only be listening on one interface
to begin with on the DHCP server.  I.e., usually eth0.
