I have played a little bit with DHCP with respect to diskless workstations. Each workstation is identified via the MAC address and then if required, can be allocated a fixed IP address (usually this is the case as each image or directory structure is specific to a machine unless hardware is identical - not the situation in my home I am afraid :-\ ). I believe there are tools available that will snoop on a network for a period of time and grab IP / MAC pairs for you to aid in the creation of matched IP / MAC pairs in DHCP files. 

I seem to have recently wiped out my dhcp config files so unfortunately don't have an example :) 

Someone else feel free to jump in here and correct or add examples :)
