Thanks Doug,
I removed the host statement from the subnet declaration and removed
the old MAC bindings from dhcpd.leases~ file and that worked.
If I used an address from the pool for a host statement could I have
duplicate addresses? Or does the server know it's in use by the host
statement?
This is what worked for me.

subnet 10.4.130.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.4.130.255;
option routers 10.4.130.1;
pool {
failover peer "dhcp-failover";
deny dynamic bootp clients;
range 10.4.130.30 10.4.130.254;
}
}
host test1.domain.net {
fixed-address 10.4.130.29;
hardware ethernet 00:0a:95:d3:49:22;
}
host test2.domain.net {
fixed-address 10.4.130.28;
hardware ethernet 00:12:3f:13:4f:eb;
}
