You might have a look through "man dhcp-eval" and see if you can figure
out a way to check for spaces in DHCP-client-supplied hostnames to alter
if they get assigned an IP.

Alternatively, you can have a pre-set-up list of hostnames and IP
addresses to be assigned to them, and everything else gets shunned.  If
you only have a small number of clients to deal with, this may be easier
to implement.
