Ah. Well that's where I have you.

I've suggested a recipe for dealing with this before (on this list).
You simply add a dhcp-client-identifier statement to the
dhclient.conf. dhcpd can arbitrate on address allocation on mac
address OR dhcp-client-identifier (or the hardware identifier but you
probably don't want to use that).
Here's an example; just add this to your /etc/dhclient.conf or
/etc/dhclient3.conf:
send dhcp-client-identifier "someuml";
and then in your dhcp server's config file write host matches like
this:
host example_uml_host {
option dhcp-client-identifier "someuml";
fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
option host-name ...
...
}
