No, what you want is the other host statement :

host bad-device-1 {
   hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff ;
   deny booting ;
}

This says that if a device with this MAC address asks for a lease, 
deny it. The server will simply ignore the device - but log the 
request.

If you don't want it to appear in the logs, then replace "deny" with "ignore".
