Short answer would be not unless the volume of data was a problem or the new configuration caused packets to be switched(proccess, ...) in a different manner than before.
I think you want to do: int fa0/0 ip addr 205.109.29.x(where x is >128) 255.255.255.128 ip addr 205.109.29.33 255.255.255.224 sec If you are trying to keep x below 128 then you've got a problem with the subnet mask's being different. Not a problem for the router, but a problem for the end hosts the router sends icmp redirects to which have different subnet masks. Assuming no other routers attached to this the L2 network of this fa0/0 this just Disable icmp re-directs and also seriously consider ip route-cache same-interface. If you want to run a trunking protocol and have the two networks on different sub interfaces then you'll have to straighten out any overlapping net blocks. By abstracting X for us you really made it difficult to help. Showing the .29. as an X if you wanted to hide addresses would have been better.
