[SLUG] hosts.allow/deny by MAC instead of IP

I've been googling for a bit and was wondering if anybody knows if you
can use the /etc/hosts.allow & hosts.deny files by MAC address instead
of network/netmask? I need to deny ssh from everyone but specific
machines regardless of IP due to it being dynamic. I have it set up the
IP way now but if the address get's re-assigned outside the current
block I get screwed. I'd like to set it by the MAC of the originating
machine if possible.

thanks in advance.
