No - and BTW, you could make life a lot easier with some formatting !

Hard to read :
host squeeze {
hardware ethernet 00:16:36:65:73:c4;
ddns-hostname "squeeze";
option host-name "squeeze";
}

shared-network physicalnet1 {
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
...
pool {
deny unknown-clients;
...


Easier to read :
host squeeze {
   hardware ethernet 00:16:36:65:73:c4;
   ddns-hostname "squeeze";
   option host-name "squeeze";
}

shared-network physicalnet1 {
   subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   ...
   pool {
     deny unknown-clients;



It might help if you read back to the beginning of the thread. The OP 
wanted more than just allow/deny unknown clients - he wanted to split 
allowed hosts into different pools as well.

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 ...
