Strange, but it works.
You are using a /23 subnet mask, or 255.255.254.0 . (binary 111111111.11111111.11111110.0000000 - when you look at how subnets work, you'll see how the binary is important.) In todays world of sharply limited internet addresses, tricks like this to make best use of a limited assignment of addresses are becoming more common.
