This lets you assign specific addresses to machines with specific MAC 
addresses. But it doesn't inhibit MAC address "cloning," and the DHCP server 
cannot force a machine to use a specific IP or stop it from using one that was 
not assigned to it.

The problem is that you cannot test both the MAC address and the IP address in 
the same rule -- at least in the current implementation.

The docs say that you can't.
