It will work, but you need 2.26 to get bug-free (or at least, no known
bugs) support.

The config will need dhcp-range statements for both subnets like this

dhcp-range=192.168.168.0,static # known clients only
dhcp-range=192.168.169.1,192.168.169.200 # unknown clients allowed.

You'll also need to be running on Linux, not *BSD or Mac OS X.

Cheers,

Simon.
