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.
