New class C addresses not playing nice with existing network

What does this have to with BIND?

1. What is the ip address range of the Class A you are using? 
2. What is the range for the class C

What is the mask on the class A?
A class C generally means the mask is 255.255.255.0. 

A mask of 255.255.255.255 means the client believes that it is the only
machine on the subnet. The subnet mask of the old addresses should have
NOTHING to do with the mask for the new ones. 

In order for the people on one group to reach the other, they need some
type of routing configured on each machine. 

This is basic routing.. It has nothing to do with BIND.
