More likely your class matching isn't working as you'd expected. I 
can't comment since we haven't seen your config. Most likely the 
client is matching class "rule1".

PS - you could help yourself by making your config easier to read 
with appropriate indentation, eg :

subnet ....
   option ....
   pool {
     option time-offset -12345;
     option netbios-name-servers 10.232.1.45;
     option time-servers 1.2.3.4,10.232.167.89;
     option host-name something.com";
     range 192.168.1.64 192.168.1.110;
     range 192.168.1.112 192.168.1.124;
     range 192.168.1.126 192.168.1.253;
     allow members of "rule1";
   }
}
