Static Allocation Not Working

A pair of things that I seem to remember:
1) Host statements are global and should not be placed inside a subnet
declaration.
2) As fixed addresses are not kept track of in the lease they must be
declared in both partners in a fallover configuration. One or the other
will grant the lease and then forget about it. If the first to respond
dose not have the host declaration it will hand it a lease out of the
pool for the subnet.
