Ive tried to move those includes around in dhcpd.conf but when I do I get
bad parse due to having range statements in each of the includes.

DHCP is reloaded automatically when changes are done and a bunch of files,
including the STATIC includes are updated and rewritten from info in a
mysql database. The range statements are done to exclude certain IP's that
have been marked in the database as static.

Ive put the includes outside completely of the main {} and outside
the shared-network statement. The only place they work is inside the
subnet declaration for each network, because of the range statements in
each include file. And thats where range statements go, inside the subnet
declarations, hence the error.

So regardless, will dhcpd still work as it has before? At this point I
dont have an easy way to do statics other than the way it is done now.
