Does the DHCP server actually have an interface with an address on this 
subnet?  Is that the interface on which the failing requests are being 
received?

The DHCP server will only assign an address which is appropriate for the 
network segment on which the client is booting.  For requests received 
directly (not via a relay agent), it determines this based on the interface 
on which the address arrived.
