Enter ISC's "spawning class" concept:

class "tbtc-dsl-occam" {
   match if substring(option agent.remote-id,0,5) = "Occam";
   spawn with concat(option agent.remote-id, " ", option agent.circuit-id);
   lease limit 2;
}

The "spawn with x" option dynamically creates a class for each unique 
"x", in my case the concatenation of the remote-id and circuit-id.

The lease limit is 2 to permit people to swap out devices without having 
to release.

I'd also recommend "mac limit 2" in your access profiles.
