	You can also specify distinct actions (e.g. setting variables or options)
	for each subclass, so:

subclass "norm" 1:00:01:02:03:12:32 { ... };

	However, the documentation for dhcpd.conf contains the following:

The  fixed-address  declaration  is  used  to  assign  one or more fixed IP addresses to a client.  It should only appear in a host declaration. 

	I haven't tried it, so can't say whether or in what circumstances 
	this warning can be disregarded.
