A comment is defined in the second paragrpah of the dhcpd.conf man page:

     Comments  begin  with the # character and end at
     the end of the line.

I've never noticed or seen a comment statement.

Here's how the comment line looks that dhcpstatus is interested in,
it's the leading #$ that is important. Must be the first two chars on
the line (no leading whitespace allowed).

#$ subnet name here
subnet 192.168.14.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  option ...
  pool {
    range ...
  }
}
