You are correct that the problem is lack of a dhcp-range. To do what you 
want, add a dhcp-range which specifies the subnet where you are 
allocating fixed addresses but doesn't give a range for dynamic 
allocation. The keyword "static" as the second address does this:

dhcp-range=<subnet-address>,static
