  In the general case, there's no nice way to make one group of subnets
  have the values for certain options in common, while another group has
  a different set of common values for the same or another set of options.
  Specifying the options repeatedly inside each '{' ... '}' block is all
  that can be done.

  That said, if you can match a common set of options to a particular
  set of network devices by topology (shared-network) or by device
  characteristics (class), you can specify the common options in the
  corresponding shared-network or class definition.
