This is great. Thanks for figuring it out and sharing it with us.
I gave it a try before but I couldn't make it work.

I would prefer to use vendorclass, if possible.
Using MAC addresses means that some manual work needs to be done, and the
solution is not generic.

I would like to add this solution to my scripts (
https://gitlab.com/Virtual-LTSP/VirtualBox)
if I am able to test it and if I make it work.

possible.
