for servers dynamic addresses?
WTF?

but you can satisfy both with dhcpd and controll
this way any ip-address dynamically

i am doing this even in bigger setups for any known client machine
and generate dhcpd.conf based on my dns-database which has a column
for the hwaddress

host printer {

 hardware ethernet 00:17:A4:6E:2E:95;
 fixed-address 192.168.2.10;
}
