If you want static to be able to track an IP address over time then I
would suggest DHCP reservations. You'll get what you're looking for but
will still have a more dynamic and flexible network. I can add a new DNS
server in DHCP and be done in 10 seconds. I use it for servers,
switches, printers... etc. without issue. I can look at my reservation
list and see in real time what I've got vs. looking at a spreadsheet of
IPs that may not be current. I can also pull up statistics and quickly
see how many addresses are available on each subnet.
Those are some of the reasons I use it.
Good luck!

I know many folks are very adamant about using DHCP, I am wondering why,
besides the fact that there is little thought that has to be put into
it, what is the advantage?
Because when there is a network issue, it is really nice to be able to
pin-point the culprit with static addressing. So I don't want to start a
religious rant, just hear why people like it so much.
Thank You

Subject: [THIN] OT: do hp jetdirects do dhcp conflict detection?
windows clients upon receiving an dhcpoffer send out an arp to verify
that the address is not in use and sends back a dhcpdecline if it is in
use. Do hp jetdirects do this as well? Also wondering about whatever
network component dell printers use too. Yes, we've had a couple of
conflicts so wondering if I should enable the address conflict detection
on the dhcp server or leave it alone.
