I thought with DHCP, you address the MAC with a given IP address, to make
sure a certain computer would always get the same IP (sort of a dynamically
static sort of thing), but giving you the advange of having all the rest of
the info that travels with DHCP (like name server lists and such) being
controlled centrally.  That's the one use I've ever heard of for them.
