Forcing a Mac address to a specific pool

[Gideon Viator]

I believe that it is not rolling to the next pool because I cannot configure
the Ethernet interface with more than one IP address. When I run dhcpd, it
only advertises with the pool that is in the same subnet as the Server. How
can I configure a secondary IP address? 

Thanks,

The client should automatically get an address from any pool it is 
allowed to - are you sure it is allowed a lease from that pool ? To 
deny other clients, add an "allow members of ..." clause to the pool 
reserved for that client.
