You've explicitly denied them from that pool : "deny unknown
clients;" You don't need to do this as anything NOT matching class
"test" will be implicitly denied.

Please DO NOT put host statements anywhere but the global scope. They
are (mostly) global in scope but inherit options from where they are
declared. By defining them anywhere but the global scope leaves you
open to some very strange behaviour due to unexpected option
inheritance.
Also, the config you've posted does not include a shared-network. I'd
strongly recommend that unless you really need it, you don't declare
it - people get terribly confused by the shared-network declaration.
