I'm assuming that both subnets are on the same physical network adapator.

A client (as identified by MAC address) can't have two leases at once. 
My guess is that the first lease achieved is on the storage subnet, and 
that gets deleted when the same client gets another lease. It's worth 
looking in the system log to see what happening, and also worth setting 
--log-dhcp to get more information there.

One way around this is to configure the DHCP clients to send different 
client-IDs for the two subnets, they'll be treated as two different 
leases for two different clients.

   Also if I have a

No. A hostname is only ever associated with one DHCP lease.
