I use mac address reservations in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file, like so:
host linsrv { hardware ethernet 00:50:fc:57:5c:db; option host-name "linsrv"; fixed-address 192.168.100.254; }
The way that I always do it is:
host foobar { hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; fixed-address hostname.domain.org; }
and rely on the DNS to supply the fixed IP address. This works for Linux, Windows XP, Vista and 7, and OS X.
