You can assign multiple host blocks for the same NIC, using a
fixed-address directive in one but not in other. dhcpd will try for
the best match. If the request arrives from subnet-B, and the fixed
address is on that net, then that's the block that gets used.
Otherwise, the less specific block will be used. E.g.,
host myhost {
hardware ethernet 11:22:33:44:55:66;
fixed-address myhost.mydom.com;
}
host myhost-roam {
hardware ethernet 11:22:33:44:55:66;
}
