Ok, I've verified the MAC address is for one of my listed hosts.  One
question I have that I'm not sure about is this, are the host entries
supposed to be within the subnet block, or does that not matter?  I've
been reading through manual pages and I haven't read anything that
would say the host entries are to be within a subnet block, but I
wanted to make sure.

So, since this MAC is listed in my dhcpd file what could the reason
this doesn't want to grant the IP?  Should I list as a range, the IP
addresses that I have?

Thanks for the help,
Andy
