At one time (or I'm just conflating isc-dhcp-server with some other
dhcp server option), it was required that a host's "fixed-address" was
within the defined range ("address pool"). Looking at a manpage dated
2021 (or well at least /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpd.8.gz is dated 2021), it
doesn't specify one way or the other.
It does, however, note that if you do set a host's fixed-address that
falls in the range, it just gets skipped when a client that doesn't
match the defined host-identifier (e.g. MAC Address) is requesting an
IP.
