No, they are VERY different features/functions.
A host statement with fixed address is very
different to a normal dynamic lease. Although
from the client side it looks the same, at the
server end there is no lease processing, no
dynamic DNS updates, etc - in fact a lease will
never appear in the leases file for these
clients. Failover is not involved at all, and you
should just define the same host statement on
each server.
A lease marked as reserved acts EXACTLY like a
dynamic lease - it appears in the leases file, it
expires, dynamic DNS updates happens, etc. The
only difference is that once you add the reserved
flag, the server will NOT reallocate that address
to another client, even when it's expired. In a
failover environment, I assume it goes through
the same processing as any other lease.

IIRC from previous discussion on here, no you can't.
