Best I can suggest is to consider that you have two, maybe three address
pools. The local lan where your PMs and others actually reside, the
dynamic ip pools for each PM and any static IPs you have assigned.

I would suggest that the local machines and the static IPs reside on the
same network. With static IPs the PM swill proxy arp if the IP address
is in the same network as the PMs ethernet address.

Put all the dynamic IPs in subnetted pools, one subnet for each PM.
You may have to add static routes for the dynamic subnets on other
routers to the various PMs.
