"pick-first-value" is documented in the dhcp-eval(5) man page. "pick" is an
alias for "pick-first-value" (although I don't think that is documented anywhere).

"match" is documented in the dhcpd.conf(5) man page. There are examples in the
CLIENT CLASSING or SUBCLASSES sections.

I don't know if these will actually help you solve your problem, but hopefully so!
