Mode doesn't really have anything to do with it. You shouldn't have any
problems depending on how many users you have and the lease times. Here's
some reading on it. Even though its NT4 to W2k, the ideas still apply.

You can also create the 80/20 rule where the original one has 80% of the IPs
and the new one has 20% of the IPs. Then shorten the lease on the two
servers, then after about a week or so (depending on the lease times) change
it around so thenew one is 80% and then finally change the scope so the new
one has all the IPs.

OR
You can just migrate the database to the new server:
