Far enough out I couldn't even guess.  We have a full queue ahead
of us already.  We've known about this when we started 3.1.0 work,
so hopefully we could get it into the next feature release after
the first DHCPv6 one.

Sure, use subclasses instead of or in addition to the host records.

Clients are always classed, so they work on INFORMs too.

You can read about those in 'man dhcpd.conf', search forward for
"SUBCLASS".  If you need help after that, come on back.
