Don't have any hands on with that one, I use a hardware router to the ISP.

I serve up IP's to macs and 'doze machines here. In fact just moved the 
whole setup to the powerbook running 9.1 and shut down my old server. I do 
use static IP's per machine:

ddns-update-style none;
subnet 192.168.192.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	
	# default gateway - hardware router
        option routers 192.168.192.11;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

        option domain-name "linuxcontrol.org";
        option domain-name-servers    192.168.192.45, 66.73.20.40, 206.141.193.55;

# 192.168.192.45 is the dhcpd/nameserver/samba server/netatalk etc. 

        default-lease-time 21600;
        max-lease-time 43200;

#this is another laptop, x86 running either WindowsXP or Linux, wired or 
#wireless.  I used to use the same hostname for both, but current dhcpd 
#doesn't care for that.

    host presario {
        hardware ethernet     00:90:96:19:60:20;
        fixed-address         192.168.192.33;
    }
    host presariow {
        # wireless setup
        hardware ethernet     00:06:25:0b:97:97;
        fixed-address         192.168.192.33;
    }

That's it - more of the above for different machines.

HTH,
