No this configuration is still incorrect. From network engineer perspective
that configuration assumes that could be one ip address with different mac
addresses at the same time. This is a network issue. Don't do that.

If you want to share the same ip address with different devices consider
using option 82 and assign addresses based on port.

you also can make user class with test where you provide your mac addresses
as key and assign that class to reserved ip address. I've never do that
way, but could work.
