I wouldn't say dumb...  Here is how to assign addresses to hosts using
dhcp:

host hostname
	{
	fixed-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
	hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
	}

This is placed after the subnet, range and option definitions in th
dhcpd.conf file. You can avoid this by not including the address(es) in
the range. I do believe there is or used to be a reserve command but I
can't remember offhand. Maybe man dhcpd.conf will reveal it.
