How to configure static Ips w/ no leases given except explicit.

    You do not provide your current configuration but I suspect it is
broken. The answer is to keep the subnet declaration but get rid of any
"range" statements. The DHCP server will only give out dynamic addresses
from a valid range. No range means only fixed addresses to known hosts.

    If this is true, you probably have a range that covers all valid IP
addresses on the subnet. A range should not overlap fixed addresses. If
it does, the fixed address could already be assigned to another host and
your registered system will be unable to boot. That is what I meant by
broken above.
