I do that here so that my laptop's built-in NIC and the docking
station NIC get the same IP address: 

        host arafel {
                hardware ethernet 00:06:5b:eb:a2:06;
                fixed-address arafel;
        }
        host arafel-undocked {
                hardware ethernet 00:08:74:04:12:01;
                fixed-address arafel;
        }
