Thank you for the point on this option, I missed it before. However, 
iIterating on hosts is not really a solution for us, since it's customer 
devices (they appear/disappear out of our control, on a lot of sites).

Moreover, in our context, MAC addresses are more relevant than clients 
identifiers, even for hosts with a valid identifier. Our networks have 
some checks on couple IP/MAC addresses consistency, and distributing an 
IP address previously in use with another MAC is probably a bad idea for 
this kind of tools.

So, I'm still in favor of the blanket options.
