As far as I know, it cannot be done, but it shouldn't matter with the 
dhcp shared-network because it will service both networks regardless if 
the giaddr is 10.6.0.1 or 10.5.0.1.

You'll need to make sure your Option 82 classes are accurate and 
matching in the dhcpd.conf and that the Extreme is not stripping that 
information out of the DHCP packets. By the looks of the Extreme config, 
  you'll need to add that line:

configure bootprelay dhcp-agent information policy keep
