In my experience, specifying 'deny' for some pool(s) and 'allow' for
other(s)
has led to problems. I suggest you choose to use either only
'allow' or else
only 'deny', thus:
pool {
...
deny known clients;
}
pool {
...
deny unknown clients;
}

You can avoid it, _if_ you wish to configure a distinct fixed address
for each 'known' client.
