I'd suggest replacing the last part with:

but they must be in the same subnet as some valid dhcp-range.  For
subnets which don’t need a pool of dynamically allocated addresses,
use the "static" keyword in the dhcp-range declaration.

Are tag (netname) conditions on the dhcp-range enforced on dhcp-hosts
falling in the same subnet?
