When you say these subnets are on the same physical network, I'm assuming that you have them in the same VLAN/broadcast-domain. Given that they're in the same broadcast domain, why not just use /23 instead of /24. Make the change in you DHCP server and you shouldn't have a problem.
I saw you configured a secondary interface on your router -- again, wouldn't be needed if you went to a /23.

However, having said all this, if you are using over 200 IP address, I'd recommend you keep the /24 and break them into different VLANs/boradcast domains. In order to do this, your router will need to connect to both vlans or your witch will need to be layer-3 capable. You can keep 200 on vlan1 for example and the 201 on vlan2. From there, you can configure the DHCP server as /24 subnets and when it receives a dhcp request, it'll issue and address out of the right range. You'll need to look at dhcp helper addresses on your switches for the subnet/broadcast domain that the dhcp server is not part of.

So, though I like the traffic control and broadcast control that a /24 give me when in different VLANs, it may be more than you want to deal with -- so your easy solution may be a simple /23 and drop the second interface on the router -- again, all devices addresses statically will also need to have a /23 subnet mask.

hope this helps and doesn't confuse you more....

Given the subnets you're using, I'd suggest you
