That certainly will work. Since Gene already has dhcp up and running,
he can also use it to assign fixed ip addresses, e.g.:

host orca                       # Lenovo T61                                    
                                                    
{
   option host-name "orca";
   hardware ethernet 00:13:8E:BA:7E:59;
   fixed-address 192.168.101.18;
   ddns-hostname orca;
}
