Yes, but you would need two physical interfaces, you would also need 
to have a mechanism in place to prevent the statically defined 
clients getting addresses in the dynamic pool. Assuming you have two 
ethernet ports, you could do :

dhcpd -lf leasefile0 -cf configfile0 eth0
dhcpd -lf leasefile1 -cf configfile1 eth1
