Client tied to pool via (sub)class in one subnet, same client has host declaration in other subnet...

No, I rely on inheritance. I just recently understood that the
inheritance comes from assigned IP to subnet declaration mapping, not
from position in file.

Perhaps you can understand my reluctance to change a setup that seems to
work for 4500 clients to something I don't understand correctly just
because you tell me to *g*.

Now I understand (and have tested) what I have read in the manpage.

I was tcpdump-ing the answers from the dhcp server so client behaviour 
was not the issue.

I don't know what exactly changed from the first tries (or understand 
why the problem seems to be gone) but somehow it seems to work in my lab 
environment.  I'll reply with a final status after changes are complete...

kind regards,
