DHCP-Setup to serve two networks

Hi All,

is there a easy way to share two (or more) public networks equally to 
internal clients to do some kind of minimal load balancing with DHCP? 
Just to have for instance approx. 50% clients on Network-A and 50% on 
Network-B with minimal Lease-Times. I know all the disadvantages this 
setup has, but that's not the question, please don't remind me! ;-) A 
working setup would be something like that:

subnet 87.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 { range 87.1.1.1; option routers 
87.1.1.126; option domain-name-servers 192.168.9.254; }

subnet 87.2.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 { range 87.2.1.1; option routers 
87.2.1.126; option domain-name-servers 192.168.9.254;  }


[...]

and add every single ip to a separate subnet declaration. I already 
tried that out, it works. Isn't there a easier, more elegant way?

Thanks!

Oli
