There's a hash table that gives us host {} records by hardware address.
There's a hash table that gives us host {} records by client id.
In 4.0.0, there's even a new linked list of hash tables that can give
us a host {} record based upon arbitrary DHCP packet contents (option
values)...which I don't remember if we backported to DHCPv4 or not.
But there is no way, presently, to get a host {} record from an IP
address, so we didn't do that.
We're rather hoping that, with the availability of a better way to
set leases reserved (some day), that reserved dyanmic leases would do
what folks need here, and leave host {} fixed-address'es more or less
alone.
