As Greg says, for fixed-address clients, no lease is stored. If you need to see
a lease for it, then you may find reserved leases a viable alternative. These
are normal dynamic leases, except that by adding the "reserved" keyword to the
lease (AFAIK you can either edit the leases file or use OMAPI/OMSHELL) it is
reserved exclusively for the one client. In other words, a reserved lease will
never be reallocated even if it's long since expired.
