} You write a host declaration, and within that a hardware declaration
} or an "option dhcp-client-identifier ...;" statement, and also a
} fixed-address declaration.   For example:
} 
} host foo {
}   hardware ethernet 8:0:20:10:1d:55;
}   fixed-address 10.0.0.18;
} }
} 
} or
} 
} host bar {
}   option dhcp-client-identifier 1:8:0:20:10:1d:55;
}   fixed-address 10.0.0.18;
} }

     Okay.  But, what if I want to make the fixed-address be based on
the hostname (option 12 in the DHCPREQUEST message)?  Can I just do:

host baz {
  option hostname "alphabeta";
  fixed-address 10.0.0.18;
}
