Just for the record, that link says:
o Support fixed or permanent allocation of configuration
         parameters to specific clients.

Given this, I think that using the term 'fixed' is certainly not 
incorrect. Personally I prefer 'fixed' over 'reserved'.

I wonder if perhaps MS (Server) introduced the term 'reserved'. I'd be 
interested to know when it first came to be applied in this context.

BL, I think the IPCop documentation can be left as is. Thanks to Eric O 
for getting it changed!
