No, it's not possible with the ISC server - it's not a configuration 
option because it's exactly the opposite of normal desired operation. 
You could fake something that approximates it by having a number of 
pools and a script that periodically changes them around so that the 
allowed addresses keep changing and others are barred - when a client 
attempts to renew an address that is currently barred it will be 
NACKed and will have to stop using it's lease.

But I'm curious as to why you would want to do this, it's VERY 
unfriendly to your network and will result in some seriously p***ed 
off users !
