[Dibbler] Assigning fixed addresses

Hello,

I was unsuccessful trying to configure Dibbler server to suit the following
situation.

I have a network with a set of fixed addresses (they are included in the
DNS, and I cannot use dynamic DNS because of faculty policy). I need the
addresses to be assigned according to machine DUIDs. Moreover, I have a set
of notebooks that shall get addresses from a pool.

I configured a list of separate classes as follows:
class {
  accept-only <machine DUID>
  pool <the address assigned to the DUID>
}

and the "freely assigned" pool as a separate class. But this doesn't work
as expected. Is there a way to configure Dibbler for this situation?

Thanks,
D. Antos

P.S.: It would also be nice to allow more pools in classes.
