I think I have caught it:

shared-network "TE_DOCSIS" {
 subnet 24.244.66.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    include "/etc/docsis_dhcp/STATIC-24-244-66";
    more stuff
 } #end subnet

 subnet 24.244.67.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    include "etc/docsis_dhcp/STATIC-24-244-67";
    more stuff
 } #end subnet
} #end shared-network


In each of the includes above are host declarations. Is this what dhcpd is
complaining about?

There are more subnets there but this is just a quick snippet of what it
looks like.

Thanks,
Keith
