You just identify the local machines by their network MAC address.

As long as you are happy with the local change, and don't mind the  
risk of local machines sometimes getting short leases, your change  
should be fine.

I would suggest that in your if statement you make sure that lease- 
 >pool is not null - I think in the case of a static lease it would  
be, and while you probably don't have any static leases now, you  
don't want dhcpd to dump core when someone hacks the configuration  
later.   :')
