classes specified for a subnet, any client connected to a given shared

subnet including client classes is preferred over subnets without
client classes. Consider the following example:

If the client belongs to "b-devices" class (because it includes option
93 with a value of 0x0002) it doesn't guarantee that the subnet 10.0.0.0/24
will be used (or preferred) for this client. The server can use any of
the two subnets because the subnet 192.0.2.0/26 is also allowed for
this client. The client classification used in this case should be pereceived
as a way to restrict access to certain subnets, rather than a way to express
subnet preference. For example, if the client doesn't belong to the
"b-devices" class it may only use the subnet 192.0.2.0/26 and will
never use the subnet 10.0.0.0/24.
