What I do is the following:

  * I have a few static host entries defined globally for a few hosts
    that need a fixed address
  * I have one subnet for unknown devices - devices that are connected
    but have not been accepted by me
  * I have a different subnet for normal use
      o I have one pool for devices that are allowed internet access
      o I have one pool for devices that are not allowed internet access
      o I have a space for the fixed addresses outside of these pools
  * I have defined two classes, one for internet access and one without
      o I use a list of subclass definitions for every device without a
        fixed address
      o each subclass definition determines access or not by assigning
        to the class and in some cases give the DNS name
  * Each pool definition use deny and allow statements to allow only the
    relevant devices

The difficult part of your setup will be to assign each device to the
correct class. There are lots of possibilities but specific knowledge is
needed about your devices to do that.

I use a manually edited list of subclass definitions because this fits
my needs. My next setup will be KEA with mysql backend and a web page to
do the administration.
