Indeed - it's even documented in the example .conf file!!

However, I asked the question a few days ago how to support this syntax
in the ethers file and Simon kindly pointed out that I needed to read
the main man pages to see there is a "dhcp-hostsfile" option which
allows you to specify a file where this syntax is in fact accepted (and
for my uses is much more useful than ethers)

Good luck
