Yeah but if someone changes out the NIC and the server goes dark on the
network it's a pretty easy finger point to the person that didn't update
the DHCP record. So long as the network procedure is consistent it
shouldn't be a big deal. Then again, I don't work in a world where the
guy implementing a new server doesn't also have access to the DHCP
server. In my world they are at worst in the same rack and often on the
same box. J

I tend to avoid DHCP reservations for the same reason that Jim notes.
They suffer from the same kind of network amnesia that hosts and lmhosts
files have.

I prefer static for servers & devices (print servers, etc.);
DHCP for all else..
If you ever replace a server NIC and you forget to change the
MAC in the DHCP reservation, your server could be unavailable until you
either re-register the IP or fix the reservation.
It's just a question of "how solid is your process control?"

I always use the DHCP method. I don't know that there is a
better. I think it's simply a choice.

To you network guys out there...
When you give a device a static address, be it a server, switch,
printer etc., do you think it is better to hardcode the address into the
device or allocate the address using DHCP and the MAC address.
