Hello,
  If you are talking about having different options for
clients based on what subnet they connect to, yes you 
can do this. I believe you can even have specific options
for a client hwaddr in a specific subnet (or for a class
of clients). The IBM servers (AIX & OS/2) seem capable of 
these things.

  I'm curious to know what services you are limiting as
you move the machines around?

   A related question: Does anyone know of a BOOTP or DHCP server that can
   hand out a different IP configuration to the same MAC address depending
   on the value of the gateway address field?  The application is that we
   are considering providing a limited service for people with portables. 
   Depending where they physically connect they obviously need a different
   config and in some ways it would be nice to have single boot server
   rather than one for each possible location.
