I'm assuming that the parssing of the lease file is somewhat similar to
dhcpd.leases.
Based on that assumption, only the first match is used.
New entries are added at the top of the file, I guess that the file is
read from top to bottom (oposit behavior for dhcpd.leases).
Note that the daemon needs to be stopped to modify the lease file.

The lease file is a database of known client(s) to the server, that way,
the same IP is given to the same client.
