I won't assert something about the following being the best way, but I
would normally think of some rules in hints and/or users file matching
on pertinent combinations of User-Name, NAS-IP-Address,
Called-Station-Id etc. depending on the setup you actually want to
implement.

As a side note to that: while I don't have a clear understanding of
what the meaning of "different subnet mask"s in that context could
possibly be, under sort of normal circumstances dhcp would happen
after users' machines associate/authenticate on an ap.
