Do yo mean something like this?
host printer-sec-NB {
hardware ethernet 00:23:7d:7e:da:79;
fixed-address 172.22.201.2;
option hostname "printer-sec-NB";
}
The same thing can be done by setting:
use-host-decl-names true;
which will then use the host label as the hostname.
This is in the dhcpd.conf man page. All options are listed in
dhcp-options man page.
