It's a configuration issue - and a known "gotcha" !

Move your class statements out of the subnet declarations - regardless of where you define them, they are global in scope (ditto for host statements). So a client can match a class even if you **think** you've defined it only for a specific subnet. When this happens, the client gets options inherited from the class in the other subnet - and a side effect is getting (in this case) the router option from a different subnet.
