dhcp reserved address support

[Glenn Satchell]

You can specify multiple range statements and omit the IPs that should
not be handed out dynamically, eg you want to exclude 192.168.10.25:

subnet ... {
  range 192.168.10.20 192.168.10.24;
  range 192.168.10.26 192.168.10.29;
  ... other options ...
}

or a single IP can be in the range, eg:

subnet ... {
  range 192.168.10.50;
  ... othe roptions ...
}
