From the dhcpd.conf man page:

If it is desirable to be able to boot a DHCP or BOOTP client on more than one subnet with fixed v4 addresses, more than one address may be specified in the fixed-address declaration, or more than one host statement may be specified matching the same client.
The fixed-address6 delcaration is used for v6 addresses. At this time it only works with a single address. For multiple addresses specify multiple host statements.
If client-specific boot parameters must change based on the network to which the client is attached, then multiple host declarations should be used. The host declarations will only match a client if one of their fixed-address statements is viable on the subnet (or shared network) where the client is attached. Conversely, for a host declaration to match a client being allocated a dynamic address, it must not have any fixed-address statements. You may therefore need a mixture of host declarations for any given client...some having fixed-address statements, others without.
hostname should be a name identifying the host. If a hostname option is not specified for the host, hostname is used.

You need multiple host entries, with different labels on the “host” line, different MAC address, same IP, same hostname.
