This is rougly accomplished by assigning the client to a class and than
permitting only that class in a small pool.  My configs look like:

class "test-01-03-07" {
  match if option agent.circuit-id = "test-01-03/Ethernet7:Vlan2";
}
pool {
  allow members of "test-01-03-07";
  range 10.8.200.1;
  deny dynamic bootp clients;
}

You would adjust the match statement to meet your specific needs.

Keep in mind that this breaks if the client's UID (typically the MAC
address) ever changes.

There are many other examples in the archives.
