Yes

>Or do each static address need to be declared within the subnet declaration

No. Host declarations should **NOT** be put anywhere other than in 
the global scope. If you put them inside a subnet declaration then 
you get very option inheritance giving strange (but predictable) 
problems.

PS - Please fix your mailer, **tiny** pale blue text is hard to read 
- people are less likely to skip your request if you don't make it 
hard top read.
