You still have to consider the subnet mask, which increases in powers of two. There's no point in offering addresses, beyond what the mask will allow.
Already covered by changing the lines: subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { and: option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; to: subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 { and: option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0; The DCHP server, while it knows the range is the full /16. However, it won't supply addresses outside those given by all the "range" lines.
While it is possible to simply have, for example, three /24 address ranges, each with it's own sub net mask, to the local network, it adds complexity in the form of alias addresses on the router interface port and ICMP redirects.
Shouldn't do. The routing table should end up looking similar to this: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 No matter which ranges are enabled.
