I assume by "static lease" you mean "host declaration with fixed address" ?
If that is the case then you MUST NOT have the static address
included in any dynamic range<period>
If you have the address in a dynamic range then you are telling the
server that the address is available for leasing to clients, so it
does just that. I think version 4 introduces a facility for reserved
leases - so you could continue dynamically allocating addresses, and
then simply set the lease to reserved so it cannot be given to any
other client.
