dhcpd.conf configuration


hello,
I am trying to configure my dhcpd.conf file to handle assigning multiple systems ip address' dynamically but i would like each system to mount a different root path. For example:

I want one system to connect with an ip of 192.168.0.1 and then mount /usr/local/boot1

and then if another system connects with an ip of 192.168.0.2 i would like it to mount /usr/local/boot2.

I also do not want to use any hardware ethernet recognition simply assigning dynamic ip addresses.

Below is simply a sample code of our actual config file:

subnet 192.168.0.0 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
{
range 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.100
option root-path "/usr/local/boot1";
}



Does anyone know how I would go about doing so?

This seems an unusual requirement - without reserving by MAC address any client could have any IP address within the range. Is this for load balancing?
