How about this:

Addresses allocated like this are not constrained to be in the range
given by the --dhcp-range option, but they must be
in  a  subnet  which  has a dhcp-range associated with it. For subnets
which don’t have a dynamically allocated address
range, this is achieved by using the "static" keyword in the dhcp-range
declaration.

Cheers,

Simon.
