I think you should use a "shared-network" statement here. Something like:
shared-network net_0_16 {
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
...
}
subnet 192.168.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
...
range 192.168.16.129 192.168.16.254;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}
}
}
and leave the routing as it is.

If you add "ip helper-address <server_address>" to the other interfaces on
the cisco, it will forward requests to your DHCP server. There is also
a command to fine tune the set of protocols that are forwarded (can't
remember it off the top of my head).
