Heh yea ok well already implemented:


The infinite-is-reserved statement

                    infinite-is-reserved flag;

                    ISC DHCP now supports 'reserved' leases.  See the  sec-
                    tion on RESERVED LEASES below.  If this flag is on, the
                    server will automatically reserve leases  allocated  to
                    clients which requested an infinite (0xffffffff) lease-
                    time.

                    The default is off.
