The usual technique is to configure dhcpd to ignore unknown MAC
addresses, then explicitly create a bunch of host{} sections with all
the MAC addresses on your network.
Of course, that does not stop someone from using a static IP to gain
connectivity, provided he/she knew the specifics of your network (i.e.
the subnet mask, nameserver, and gateway). But you should be watching
the ARP cache on your gateway for MAC addresses that ain't yours.
