You will find this discussed many times in the mailing list archives. 
Apart from the method given by Anders, there was a plan to allow the 
admin to override the client key selection.

At the moment, the primary key is 
pick-first-value(client-id,hardware). There was a plan, and I believe 
it's back in the roadmap, to allow the admin to override this - so 
you could change it to include option-82. Together with reserved 
leases, this would give you fixed addressing based on Circuit ID.
