DHCP and MAC addresses

Hello List,

Suppose I have 100 Desktops, and I want my DHCP server to _only_
assign IP addresses to these hosts, using MAC addresses, is there a
way to tell the DHCP server to NOT assign any IP address to a machine
whose MAC address it doesn't know?
I don't want any computer being plugged onto my LAN and getting/using
resources without my knowledge. Just some level of paranoia:-)
