As far as I can tell it is.  They are all formatted the same way (not
surprising, since I generated it mechanically from /etc/ethers), and
commenting out all but one (and restarting dhcpd) makes it work for
that one.

Maybe, though I'm inclined to doubt it.  I actually was surprised I
didn't get errors upon including multiple `hardware ethernet' clauses.

I'll have to dig into this more at some point.
