You've filtered too much out - it is impossible 
to answer your query since the config you post 
doesn't actually allow any client in that network 
to get an address. Since we can't see where the 
client gets it's address and information from, we 
can't suggest where it's going wrong.

I do have a hunch, but I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase.

Can you post the full config for those shared 
networks AND any host declarations (and groups 
they might be contained in) referencing the 
client ?
