Avoid this if you can. Use it only if you really must. I expect
you don't need it. It's useful when the circuit can be used to
identify the customer, and probably not otherwise.

Does this help?

If the management range shares a broadcast domain with a client
range, they need to be configured in the same shared-network. In
this case, you must take care not to provide a dynamic pool for the
management range, or else find a means to keep clients from using
such a pool, so that clients can't acquire an address from this
range.

Keep things simple. First design a clean (layer 3) network
topology, then overlay an IP addressing plan on top of that, then
configure your DHCP server to match the addressing plan. If you
still need some result which this approach can't deliver, it's time
to explore specialized options, but not before.
