Reserved dynamic leases is a feature distinct from fixed-address
configurations.

You can mark a lease reserved by editing dhcpd.leases (with the
server shutdown of course) or by using OMAPI.

The problem I've discovered with making reservations possible at
'dhcpd.conf time' is that it is not very easy to detect a revocation
of the reservation (if you remove the host record, the user expects
the reservation to be removed, which is not true; it is permanently
reflected in dhcpd.leases until it is reset).
