Mine:

subnet 10.4.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
  authoritive;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;
  option broadcast-address 10.4.255.255;


I think you may need to specify option subnet-mask to send to clients.
The external one might be more of an identifier and the internal one is
configuration information for clients.

DHCPD seems to use the "subnet xx.xx.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0" to
identify the interface it is listening to for that configuration.  I
think it possible that it isn't considered configuration information.
I am not going to test my machine because it is production, but maybe
that helps you...maybe not.
