    I was afraid of that.

OK.  Let me step back.  Here's what I would like to accomplish.
We have two DHCP servers.  We do not use failover.
One is the main DHCP server.  It handles everything.
The second is maintained as a warm spare, but it does
serve out addresses for all the fixed-address machines.
All this works fine.  We have monitoring software that
basically sends DHCPINFORMS at the dhcp server and
waits for the acks.  This works good for the primary,
but the second server never answers because it is
not authoritative.  My one host subnet was an attempt
to make the second server answer the monitoring host.
