can i use a wildcard " * " in a class statement ?

[Glenn Satchell]

The dhcp-eval man page covers all these miscellaneous functions.

Your substring usage is fine. To put them together in one 'if' statement 
use 'or', eg:

class "ALCATEL-iptouch" {
     match if substring (option dhcp-client-identifier, 0, 15) = 
"ALCATEL-iptouch" or substring (hardware,1,3) = 00:08:9f;
}

Using the dhcp-client-identifier is probably better, as alcatel could 
use a different ethernet chip in the same series of phones (so the mac 
address might be different), or imagine that you had the same phones 
with different firmware and required a different class (client id 
different).
