like this?

dhcp-host=00:80:C7:4D:80:B7,192.168.2.49,stinkpad,2h

Backups are wonderful, looked up Jan'05 where I did it the other
way, worked like that for months before I changed NIC and decided 
on the names, rather than NIC address -- now I wonder if it better 
doing this by MAC address for my localnet...

Cheers,
