   Subject: Re: Static or DHCP addressing

The point is echoed here - DHCP with static assignments where applicable.

It also means that there is a centralised location to look up any IP 
   address issues.  With static, it always meant another spreadsheet to dig 
   out and keep up to date.  With Dynamic DNS updates, static leases and 
   DHCP, the only place you need to look is the DHCP server.

If you're a Windows/AD shop, it's all built in.  If you're a *nix 
   shop... it's all available and much more customizable.  Both solution 
   are perfectly adequate.

Most everything here is DHCP,  even many of the servers (with static DHCP assignments).  it just makes sense from an administrative point of view.  dynamic dns with dhcp is bomb-tastic.

we use to outsource IT here,   they were using a network range for the corp side of things that didn't fit into our plan.  so when we took IT back in house  we built a new scope,  rebooted the switches the machines were connected to,  and we were back up and working within 10 minutes,  as opposed to what may of taken a few hours to manually renumber everything.

makes new deployments a lot easier too,  one less thing to tweak/consider.
