Seems a little odd to have 'host' as the element name and attribute
name at once. Perhaps the atribute should just be name='XXXX' ?

Using the --dhcp-host option means we can't easily update on the fly, but
this patch doesn't support on the fly updates anyway, so not a huge deal.
In the future we can switch to --dhcp-host-file instead.
