The solution I use for that is to define part of the subnet as the
DHCP dynamic pool, and another as the DHCP static pool - that way
there's no danger of conflicts between IP addresses. In my case,
10.128.1.2-10.128.1.126 are statically assigned via DHCP,
10.128.1.128-10.128.1.200 are dynamically assigned via DHCP (for
guests) and 10.128.1.201-10.128.1.254 are statically assigned without
DHCP. The "range" clause in my dhcpd.conf only includes the
10.128.1.128-10.128.1.200 range (I don't expect ever to have more than
3 or 4 guests on my network at once.)
