yes!


Declare your host entries thusly:

group {

        host foobar {
                hardware ethernet 00:10:4B:0D:20:53;
                fixed-address foobar.some.domain.tld;
                option host-name "foobar";
        }

}

This is what I do on my DHCP server at home, and what I did back at Cast & Crew, where we assigned _everything_ by DHCP, but statically assigned hostnames and IP addresses to specific hardware.

If you have DHCP installed on your system, there should be a "dhcp- options" manpage.
