You can just have multiple host entries with the same IP e.g

  host haagen-1 {
                hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:59:23;
                fixed-address 239.252.197.9;
                filename "/tftpboot/haagen.boot";
              }
  host haagen-2 {
                hardware ethernet 08:00:12:33:45:66;
                fixed-address 239.252.197.9;
                filename "/tftpboot/haagen.boot";
              }

That's what I do for hosts that have wifi and ethernet connections.
