Assume that your network is 192.168.1.0/24, ie netmask is 255.255.255.0

dhcp-range=192.168.1.0,static,255.255.255.0

# set IP address for host.
dhcp-host=00:11:22:33:44:55, 192.168.1.10


# set Gateway address to 192.168.1.45 for all hosts
dhcp-option = 3, 192.168.1.45


It doesn't make sense to set netmask per-host, but it might make sense 
for gateway, in which case something like


dhcp-host = set:host-10, 00:11:22:33:44:55, 192.168.1.10
dhcp-option = tag:host-10, 3, 192.168.1.46

will do it.
