Putting host declarations inside of subnet declarations has no
effect other than to inherit the parameters in the scope.   That is,
for example, it doesn't affect address allocation.

The way scoping works for host declarations is that when a host
declaration is used, all scopes from the root scope to the pool scope
(in 2.0, the subnet scope) are evaluated starting with the root scope.
Then all scopes from the root scope to the host scope are evaluated,
excluding those that were evaluated in the first step.  So putting a
host declaration into its own subnet scope has no effect - you might
as well declare it in the global scope.   Also, in 2.0, the scoping
doesn't work as neatly as I described above, and you're likely to
experience counterintuitive behaviour if you try to get fancy with
host-based scoping.
