When we expanded past our first /24, I tried this same thing...  it
worked, but caused problems with network performance.  Something about
packets having to travel the ethernet twice in some cases.  Made for very
slow telnet sessions, DNS lookups, and POP3 service.

If you are using IPs from one subnet on your ethernet and IPs from another
subnet for your dial-up pools/static addresses, then you *need* to do
something like OSPF or RIP.  When I implemented OSFP, my network
performance felt like it improved by at least a factor of 100.
