Don't know 

I have one site that does it like this in a shared network:

shared_network blah {
  subnet .... {
    option routers ...
    ...
  }
  subnet .... {
    option routers ...
  }
  pool {
    range ...
    range ...
    allow ...
    failover ...
  }
}

The one pool has multiple ranges for the different subnets
within the
shared network. Not sure how this would go if you put it in
the global
scope, but you could probably also use the 'group'
statement.

This simplifies things a bit as you only need to specify the
allow and
deny in one place for many subnets. dhcpd works out the
right range to
select from. You still need to specify subnet specific
things, like
routers, in the subnet though.
