It happens that when I have this line uncommented it seems that the classes are never found although I have "match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier,0,6) = "docsis";" set and the vendor-class-identifier is set as this and should be matched. Because I later on I have set "allow members of X" and "deny unknown-clients", those devices get "no free leases". As soon as I comment the "spawn with option agent.remote-id;" line, everything works like it should.

a client is 'known' if it has a matching host {} record.  the known
bit is not toggled on class matches.

the allow/deny resulting acl's are a little counter-intuitive...it
does not matter what order they appear in the config file.  the deny
list is searched first, with matches rejecting.  the permit list is
then searched next, and failure to match the permit list rejects.

because you configured to deny unknown clients, only those clients that
have host records proceed to the checking the permit list.
