It sounds like you are trying to do via OMAPI the equivalent of this in the config file

host "blah1" { hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ff ; ip address 192.168.1.123 ; }
host "blah2" { hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ff ; ip address 192.168.2.123 ; }

IIRC this doesn't work.

What you can do though is this :
host "blah" { hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ff ; ip address 192.168.1.123, 192.168.2.123 ; }
ie provide a list of IP addresses for the host - and if one of those addresses matches the subnet then it is used, otherwise it just creates a "known host" which (subject ot any allow/deny restrictions) will get a dynamic address.

So you might see if you can set a list of IPs via OMAPI.
