I do it like this:
dhcp-range=192.168.1.101,192.168.1.109,2h
dhcp-host=magpie,192.168.1.31,2h
dhcp-host=poohnt,192.168.1.32,2h
dhcp-host=pooh98,192.168.1.42,2h
dhcp-host=toshnt,192.168.1.35,2h
dhcp-host=tosh98,192.168.1.45,2h
dhcp-host=stinky,192.168.1.49,2h
dhcp-option=42,0.0.0.0

I know it is not quite what you asked for, but this works for me.
Linux boxen have static IP, known windows boxen get DHCP static 
IP as above, unknown boxen get IP from dhcp-range.  This machine 
I type on is magpie, winxp.

Cheers,
