What we've done is run a cluster of routers all on the same subnet, with only the "top" (Internet-connected) router running the DHCP server and wifidog. We haven't tested it extensively, but it seems like this allows roaming between the routers without getting a new IP address, and without reauthenticating through wifidog. All the routers must have the same SSID, but can be on different channels. All the routers except for the "top" one are really just acting as bridges.
