SMS Boundaries

I am planning a side-by-side deployment of SCCM and I have a question about
boundaries in SMS 2003. We are currently using AD sites as boundaries but I
want to add all the subnets instead so I can move them over to the SCCM a few
at a time as the clients are deployed. My question is, in the AD site we have
a subnet defined as 172.16.0.0/16, can I add 172.16.0.0. My site server has a
mask of 255.255.0.0.
PS some people say we can overlap the boundaries during side-by-side do you
have any thoughts on this.

Are you clients use an 16bit subnet mask? No you can't have overlapping
boundaries. You will end up with all sorts of headaches.
