On PIX 6.2 and 6.3, there is no defined behaviour for dhcpd option 249, so being able to enter it at all should be considered a bug.
The only defined options are 66 and 150, both of which have to do with TFTP, and are designed for use with IP Phones.

I suggest you have that "different router" handle the DHCP instead of the PIX. The PIX is not intended to be a sophisticated DHCP server.
