Reserved leases might work for you. It's a new feature, and not 
documented I believe. You have to add the "reserved" keyword to an 
existing lease (ie stop server, edit leases file, start server), but 
once added it hard keys that lease to the client - so even after it's 
expired, it won't be available for any other client.

But, the lease will still go through all the same stages as a regular 
lease, and the logging would be the same.

Downside it that it's going to be really hard to manage, especially 
if you are using an automated config build system.

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 ...
