option "fixed-address" limitations

[a-plant]

I have a problem: I have to list about 200 hosts with a fixed IP address.
Are there any limitations on the number of hosts that can be listed with the "fixed-address" clause?
Thanks in advance

Practically, no.

Strictly, everything is limited by available system resources.

I have a fuzzy memory of a stage in migrating from BOOTP to DHCP
before introducing the use of pools, when there were thousands
of fixed-address host declarations in the configuration.

We have a system that has 25 thousand+ fixed addresses.  There are no issues with it.  200 should be absolutely no problem on a low end modern server (somewhat recent (~2008) xeon  or equivalent + 4GB RAM) as we are serving the 25 thousand+ off of this type of server.
