Used "deny unknown-clients", but DHCPD still passing out IP's??

Hi there,

I'm having an odd issue with my dhcpd.conf file on a Fedora Core 13 system. The server is at a remote site and my desire is for it to only give IP addresses to reserved clients (by MAC address). The problem is that it is still passing IP's out to unknown clients. I'm sure it's a simple thing I missed.

Here is the pertinent section of dhcpd.confg with the hostnames and MAC's blanked out:

subnet 172.16.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 172.16.2.240 172.16.2.250;
        option routers 172.16.2.2;
        deny unknown-clients;

# somehost
host computer1 {
        hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
        fixed-address 172.16.2.1;
        }

# server
host server {
        hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
        fixed-address 172.16.2.2;
        }

<text omitted>

} # closing bracket for subnet

I forgot to specify, using the configuration above, the server is still passing out IP addresses to unknown clients.
