I have also heard this and would be interested in having it explained.  I
know it's possbile in windows NT via static wins addresses, and I've seen
hybrid DNS/DHCP solutions but not specifically for linux..

Subject: DHCP and fixed IP addresses


I am the "voluntary" IT person at the company I work for.  We use DHCP
for IP addressing.  I have heard (and maybe read) that there is a way to
make it so a host gets the same IP address forever.  In essence,
providing a fixed IP address via the DHCP process.  Can anyone help me
figure this out?  Thanks.
