dhcp securing and controls

Dear Experts

We have DHCP server in the LAN please suggest on the following
1. would like to reserve few IP's to few users and we allow only those IP's to access the internal application web based server, please suggest the best practice considering the security controls for the dhcp,
2. is there a way that even though the wifi network password is known to the users still there should be one more level of authentication or some controls only if that is accepted then only  the users device gets IP assigned
please suggest, thanks.

I would recommend creating a new DHCP scope for privileged users, not reservations. If a password is known to the users, it's no security at all. I would recommend going to [WPA2][Auth(802.1X)] if you have the ability too. This would authenticate a user against AD, so everyone would have a unique username and password.
