[PLUG] assign dhcp address using dhcp-client-identifier?

[Jason Costomiris <jcostom@gmail.com>]

All,

It's terribly simple to assign a fixed address through DHCP by using
the MAC address of the client, such as:

host samwise {
                hardware ethernet 00:11:24:2d:5a:64;
                fixed-address x.y.z.35;
}

I've been over the man pages, I've STFW'd, and *tried* to search the
dhcp-server list archives over at MARC (which seems to have an utterly
broken search feature), all to no avail.

Why do I want to use the client id?  For machines like my PowerBook
that have both a wired and wireless interface.  Sometimes I connect
them to the house network with a wire, sometimes over the air.  I'd
like them to get the same address assigned by DHCP in either case
though.
