The syntax for 'if' and regex matches are explained in the dhcp-eval(5) 
man page.

Other useful DHCP man pages shipped with the ISC distribution are: 
dhcpd.conf(5), dhcp-options(5), dhclient.conf(5), dhcpd.leases(5) and 
dhcpd(8).

There was a recent post (in the last month) that covered a similar 
topic, with some configuration that may be useful for you.
