Graham, If you have another router on a network that's providing dhcp, just disable dhcp on the specific ethernet adapter in AstLinux and allow the other device to handle dhcp. Nothing else should be required.
I do this all the time with installations that have Windows Small Business server. The SBS must be dhcp for the subnet that it's on.
