If you use a host declaration then no lease record is stored. Basically, there's no need since all the information the server needs to service the client is in the host declaration. The server doesn't keep track of these non-leases, and nothing is stored in the leases file.

The server now supports reserved leases. By setting the reserved flag, a lease will be reserved for only that client (so fixed address much like with a host statement & fixed-address statement) - but as it's a "real" lease it goes through the normal lease lifecycle.
