Question about dhcp-client-identifier

[Allie Hopkins]

Just use the hardware-address statement in the host declaration.  First
the server looks for match on uid, then mac.  If you don't specify uid
anywhere, then it will automatically look at the hardware-address
statement and ignore any uid sent by the host.
