host bad-host-1 {
   harware ethernet 00:00:00:12:34:5f ;
   deny booting ;
}

If you have a few, then you can put them in a group like this :

group {
   deny booting ;
   host bad-host-1 { harware ethernet 00:00:00:12:34:5f ; }
   host ...
   host ...
}

'deny' will result in log messages, if you want it to be silent, then 
use 'ignore' instead.


But don't forget, this is NOT security - someone can easily configure 
a client by other means.
