Subject: wild card MAC address

I am not sure if this message is posted to the right mailing list.

Is there any way to specify wildcard mac adress in the bootptab file?
It looks like no, the bootpd applies hash algorithm on the hardware
address
of the incoming bootp client request and sends a reply.
