Maybe you've found out yourself by now, but if not: Yes, this works,  
we are doing it, it's really simple.

First, we define classes & subclasses based on the hardware address:
class "IEU_0196_L1" { match hardware; }
subclass "IEU_0196_L1" 1:00:1b:fc:38:07:8f;

Then we assign one address to that subclass like this:
pool { allow members of "IEU_0196_L1" ; range 130.60.105.238; }

And that's it. Should also work with the vendor-class-identifier.  
Advantage is, since this is not a "fixed-address" but a "normal"  
lease, it will be logged when it is issued (and that's why we are  
using this).


Hope this helps, Tina
