Michael:
If you don't specify a fixed-address statement in your host entry, then an
address which corresponds to the currently-attached subnet will be
chosen automatically, if such an address is available.
If you need a specific address for at least one of the subnets to which
this computer might attach, then you can code multiple host declarations
and/or multiple IP addresses (corresponding to the appropriate networks,
of course) in a single fixed-address statement.
See the dhcpd.conf man page for Ted's much more lucid ;-) explanation of
all this.
