Do you specifically need it visible in the config file ?
If not, create a skeleton lease (with reserved flag set) in the leases file for each client. I think the only problem here is stopping the client getting another (non-reserved) address - something in common with using fixed-addresses and host statements.

In terms of visibility, there does seem to be room for a tool that will parse the leases file and report on reserved leases. That's outside my skill zone.
