Dhcpd is a dhcp server, for handing out addresses. In this case you need
dhclient to request and receive your lease. And yes, the 'option
dhcp-client-identifier' is what you're looking for - I've set up @home boxes
this way where the user must send a 'customer id' to the dchp server to
recieve a lease. It is set in the dhclient.conf file in a send {}
statement. See dhclient.conf(5) and dhcp-options(5) man pages - both can be
found on Charles site at http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/Packages/dhclient.htm.
