I believe you need to wrap your networks in a "shared network" statement.  My ISC dhcp server
has no problem issuing address to either nic, and aliased address are no problem either.

The relevant portion of my dhcpd.conf file:

shared-network opt {
        subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                option broadcast-address 192.168.2.255;
                option routers 192.168.2.150;
                option ntp-servers 192.168.2.150;
                ddns-updates-off;
                dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
        }

        subnet 192.168.12.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                option broadcast-address 192.168.12.255;
                option routers 192.168.12.1;
                option ntp-servers 192.168.12.1;
                ddns-updates-off;
                dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
        }

        subnet 172.24.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                option broadcast-address 172.24.1.255;
                option routers 172.24.1.1;
                option ntp-servers 143.197.200.121;
                ddns-updates-off;
                dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
                #pool {
                #       range 172.24.1.75 172.24.1.99;
                #}
        }

        subnet 172.24.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                option broadcast-address 172.24.200.255;
                option routers 172.24.200.1;
                option ntp-servers 143.197.200.121;

                dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
                pool {
                        range 172.24.200.10 172.24.200.250;
                }
        }

        subnet 172.24.143.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                option broadcast-address 172.24.143.255;
                option routers 172.24.143.1;
                option ntp-servers 143.197.200.121;
                option netbios-name-servers 143.197.200.216;
                ddns-updates-off;
                dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
	}

        subnet 172.24.145.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                option broadcast-address 172.24.145.255;
                option routers 172.24.145.1;
                option ntp-servers 143.197.200.121;
                option netbios-name-servers 143.197.200.216;
                ddns-updates-off;
                dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
                #pool {
                #       range 172.24.145.10 172.24.145.250;
                #}
        }
        
        subnet 172.24.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                option broadcast-address 172.24.0.255;
                option routers 172.24.0.1;
                option ntp-servers 143.197.200.121;
                ddns-updates-off;
                dynamic-bootp-lease-length 7200;
        }
}

<-- sniped individual host assignments.. -->

As you can see, we only allocate address to unknown devices out of the 172.24.200/24 pool,
all other hosts/devices are assigned addresses out of the other subnets. 

The "opt" in the shared network line is just a name, can be anything. 

Take care!
