dhcpd.conf for kickstart

[Chandler Wilkerson]

The problem you're running into with the second file is that your  
dynamic range overlaps your static host entries. Dynamic is used as a  
fallback when your host doesn't match any of the static rules. If you  
shrink the dynamic range, your statically defined hosts should start  
getting static IPs and PXE booting.
