See man dhcpd.conf and look at the section (and example) on classes 
and subclasses. Define a class for each pool, add a subclass to 
assign clients to classes, and then add 'allow "someclassname" ;' to 
each pool (where someclassname is replaced with the appropriate class 
name).

WANTED: "Software CD ROM Kit" for Canon CLBP 360-PS printer (Canon 
part no RH6-3612, or possibly RH6-3810, or RH6-3610 might do). I've a 
dead HD and need this CD so I can replace the disk and re-install the 
printer OS on it. If anyone knows where I might get hold of one I'd 
be grateful - requests to Canon drew a blank, it's been out of 
support for years.
Alternatively, if anyone has one of these and would let me image 
their hard disk ...
