Can you Rerender multiple Page Block Sections?

Hi,

I was wondering if its possible if its possible to rerender multiple page block sections? I would like a new page block section titled "Agent Information" to be displayed when Agency is selected from Lead Source.

Thanks

VF Page:
  
<apex:page standardController="lead">
    <apex:sectionHeader title="Lead Edit" subtitle="{!lead.Name}"/>
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Lead Edit" mode="edit">

            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
                <apex:commandButton value="Save & New" action="{!save}" />
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>

1) You can create new page block section and render as you are doing for other sections

 <apex:pageBlockSection title="Agent Information " columns="1" rendered="{!lead.leadsource == 'Other'}" >
           <apex:inputField value="{!lead.Street}" required="false"/>
                <apex:inputField value="{!lead.City}" required="false"/>                          
                </apex:pageBlockSection>
                
2) If you want this section inside another page block section  then,

 <apex:pageBlockSection id="theSection1" columns="1" rendered="{!lead.leadsource == 'Other' || lead.leadsource == 'Something else' }"> 
                
                <apex:pageBlockSection title="Agent Information Something else" columns="1" rendered="{!lead.leadsource == 'Something else'}" >
           <apex:inputField value="{!lead.Street}" required="false"/>
                <apex:inputField value="{!lead.City}" required="false"/>                          
                </apex:pageBlockSection>
                
                <apex:pageBlockSection title="Agent Information Other'" columns="1" rendered="{!lead.leadsource == 'Other'}" >
           <apex:inputField value="{!lead.Street}" required="false"/>
                <apex:inputField value="{!lead.City}" required="false"/>                          
                </apex:pageBlockSection>   
                
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
            
3) or, if possible you can rerender all sections you want in rerender attribute 

<apex:inputField value="{!lead.leadsource}">
                <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="AgentInfo,anothersection,onemoresection"/>
                 </apex:inputField>

Thanks for the reply,

My issue is that I only want to add an extra page block section if Lead Source = 'Agency'. I have tried the numebrous ways you have highlighted but the page is still not rendering. Im not sure if its due to my action region being located for the first page blok section?

Thanks

This logic is working fine for me. I am using API version 36. Also, check the spelling of lead source value whether it's exactly same in both dropdown and VF page(Case sensitive).


<apex:page standardController="lead">
    <apex:sectionHeader title="Lead Edit" subtitle="{!lead.Name}"/>
    <apex:form >

                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>

Thank you for yo ur help. My original code works when I remove the following line: 
<apex:inputField value="{!lead.Sponsorship_Sectors__c}" required="true"/>

This is a lookuo field and for whatever reason is stopping the page from rerendering. Have you ever seen this issue before?

Thanks
