Might not be needed:

    dhcp-mac = set:special, 11.22.33.44.55.66
    dhcp-mac = set:default, 12.23.34.45.56.67
    dhcp-mac = set:default, <repeat for other NICs in list>
    pxe-service = tag:special, ..., 10.11.12.13
    pxe-service = tag:default, ..., 172.16.17.18

This is the new tagging system in recent versions.

It's all in the manual ...
