I am not a Network whiz but I wonder why you want to use dhcp?  Are you afraid 
of your hosts file getting too big?

I have 6 computers in the house, all with static addresses,  attached to a 
router [192.168.0.1] which connects to the ADSL Modem.  I have a printer on a 
print server with its own static address.  All computers know all the others, 
all connect via NFS.

Usually there are never more than a couple on at a time since there are only 2 
users in the house. The mythtv backend is always on and us two.  But my old 
computers get dedicated to specific tasks in different places in the house 
for convenience.
