multiple hardware ethernet statements per host

I do this in a different way:

host lap-wlan {
            fixed-address 10.1.16.11;
            hardware ethernet ff:ff:ff:ff:ff;
          }

host lap-fixed {
            fixed-address 10.1.16.11;
            hardware ethernet ff:ff:ff:ff:fe;
          }

This way works. I have tried your way but somehow failed, I don't 
remember how it failed.

Another possible way is to use client ID instead of hardware.

The above is the most reliable way I have found so far.
