Spawning based on agent.remote-id (binary vs ascii)

[Scott Baker]

I have a network that we're limiting to 1 IP address per 
agent.remote-id:

class "DSL" {
    spawn with option agent.remote-id;
    lease limit 1;
}

This works great, and I can add exceptions to this with something like:

subclass "DSL" 1:1:0:0:a:3:1:a:60:6e:4:e { lease limit 5; }

I have a new piece of equipment that sends its agent.remote-id in 
ascii format, instead of raw binary like above. I copied the 
agent.remote-id string exactly as it is out of dhcpd.leases and 
added an exception:

subclass "DSL" "N41-1-7-2-6-1-1" { lease limit 2; }

This does not appear to work, as the customer gets no available 
billing. Can I not feed a subclass a string like that? Do I somehow 
have to give it the binary representation of that? Here's two sample 
leases from my dhcpd.leases file

Existing binary remote-id:

lease 65.182.251.149 {
   starts 1 2008/01/21 23:11:02;
   ends 2 2008/01/22 03:11:02;
   binding state active;
   next binding state free;
   billing subclass "DSL" 01:01:00:00:0a:03:01:0a:69:dc:03:33;
   hardware ethernet 00:17:31:4e:27:40;
   uid "\001\000\0271N'@";
   set ddns-rev-name = "149.251.182.65.in-addr.arpa.";
   set ddns-txt = "31bab2cdefdb5b4a37be2c0a0d8e4057af";
   set ddns-fwd-name = "65-182-251-149.dsl.web-ster.com";
   option agent.remote-id 1:1:0:0:a:3:1:a:69:dc:3:33;
   client-hostname "cmez-073106";
}

New ascii string remote-id:

lease 216.105.76.179 {
   starts 1 2008/01/21 23:12:08;
   ends 2 2008/01/22 03:12:08;
   binding state active;
   next binding state free;
   billing subclass "DSL" 
4e:34:31:2d:31:2d:37:2d:32:2d:36:2d:31:2d:31:00;
   hardware ethernet 00:0f:1f:59:c7:bc;
   uid "\001\000\017\037Y\307\274";
   set ddns-txt = "31d99c549a579de390dcc2450c16439616";
   set ddns-fwd-name = "123-123-76-179.dsl.web-ster.com";
   option agent.circuit-id "n41-1-vb15-387-vlan8";
   option agent.remote-id "N41-1-7-2-6-1-1";
   client-hostname "TOY";
}

I must be missing something silly...
