OK, I made a shared-network declaration that embraces all statements
related to subnets, pools and groups.
I also fixed pools ok known and unknown clients like this:
pool {
range 192.168.1.170 192.168.1.179;
allow unknown clients;
}
pool {
range 192.168.1.180 192.168.1.199;
deny unknown clients;
}
In this way I hope clients with unknown MAC address will fall in the
first pool.
The second pool declaration is (a kind of) reminder that clients for
which I have the MAC address will have a host statement below.
If I understood correctly, I could avoid to declare this pool.
