Get a better router that supports DNS as well as DHCP?

Get a better router that allows configuration of
permanent mac <-> ipaddr mapping so you can just
put the names in a hosts file?

I've got a netgear router running DD-WRT firmware
that can do all this.

Lacking that, the "arp" command may be helpful,
but arp tables are sort of transitory and incomplete.
