man dhcpd.conf
man dhcpd

This is an example taken from parts of my /etc/dhcpd.conf file:


  host flakey {
    hardware ethernet 00:00:21:25:92:fb;
    fixed-address 192.168.1.180;
    set ddns-rev-name = "9.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.";
    option host-name "deadmeat";
    update-static-leases on;
  }

A client calling itself flakey, that matches the MAC after "hardware
ethernet" gets set the fixed IP address, that reverse IP address is set
into my dynamic DNS server, the client is told to use the "deadmeat"
hostname (instead of flakey), and the dynamic DNS system writes the
change into the DNS records, even though this is a static entry.

You don't need all of that, that's just some of the possiblities.
