Have you considered using DHCP reservations?  Tie the MAC address to a DHCP IP but get the benefits of any other scope change being dynamic.

Subject: [nv-l] Want to manage dhcp

Hello:

In reference to the post http://lists.skills-1st.co.uk/mharc/html/nv-l/2001-10/msg00318.html, we actually want to manage DHCP addressed boxes, specifically video equipment.  I understand that we could put in the range of network addresses that are in the dhcp range, but everytime a node changed ip, it would show as down.  Can Netview or something that connects to it manage by MAC so each time the ip changes on a device, it is consistent on the map?  We are using a static dns in that ip 1.1.1.1 always maps to bob.ford.com, no matter what device bob.ford.com is naming at that time.

Thanks in advance.
