Plus, you'll want the "use-host-decl-names on;" flag set (probably in 
the subnet or global level) to ensure that the declared hostname is sent 
to the DHCP client, instead of having to also declare "hostname blah" 
for each host.

You can then configure BIND with a static address for that host in the 
appropriate zone file, like:

hostname	IN	A	192.168.0.5;
