You can just use the reject statement:

        reject ip-address;

       The reject statement causes  the  DHCP  client  to  reject
       offers  from  servers  who  use the specified address as a
       server identifier.   This can be used to avoid being  con-
       figured  by  rogue or misconfigured dhcp servers, although
       it should be a last resort - better to track down the  bad
       DHCP server and fix it.

While this is intended to exclude rogue DHCP servers, it'll also work
for your "secondary."   This is not a configuration that I recommend,
BTW - the split address pool system is a lot safer.
