NT to 2003 Migration

I am currently managing a network with 250+ users, servers, and printers. I
am running a NT server that manges DNS. All of the IP's are static and I have
run out of available address's. I have set up a 2003 box that will run the
DNS & DHCP. The DNS will be step 1 with DHCP step 2. Since I will need to
create a new scope plus the scope of the static IP's I am a little confused.
The subnet on the static is 255.255.255.0 and I have been informed that to
create another scope that will be able to see the other scope the subnet will
have to be 255.255.254.0. But in 2003 there is a superscope which from what I
have read will manage a group of scopes under it. Will I be able to leave the
existing subnet at 24 and create a new scope also at 24 and still be able to
have the users see all of the network no matter which scope they are in?

the superscope should take care the issue. However, I would just use class A or B instead of C.
