Jim, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a better way, but here is what I
do.
Pick IP address you want your machines to have and put entries for them in
/etc/hosts. Then in your dhcpd.con put blocks liek this
host piglet {
hardware ethernet 00:e0:98:03:9d:7b;
fixed-address piglet.yourdom.com;
option host-name "piglet";
}
when they ask for an ip, dhcp will look in /etc/hosts and assign them that
ip.
