Unfortunately, this does not work.  When the dhcpd starts up, I'm told
that the fixed-address parameter is not permitted there.  This is
using isc dhcpd 3.0.1.

The man pages seem particularly vague, and lacking in useful examples.
 It's chock full of examples, just what seem to be very fragmented,
and out of useful context.  Were I able to find a good howto on this,
I'd be set, but one doesn't seem to be around..

And what docs are those?  The only docs I see are a few man pages, and
some RFCs that cover DHCP in general, not the isc dhcpd..
