I use static at work because as part of my job (small part) I have to take care of three subnets at 4 locations over MPLS. I static address because it eliminates some steps if someone can't connect to the network 9Actually never happens with static addressing). Also makes Desktop Remote (yes, Windows :-))a bit easier for me. For some reason I can remember IP addresses better than names. Probably from working with German Auto Manufacturer part numbers. It also makes it very easy to set up my content filter in the manner I want to use it.
For routing, it's one less thing to keep in mind. I don't have to maintain internal DNS service and don't have to consider what ranges to set up on a DHCP service in order to route differnt parts of a subnet to different application servers or connections. Different strokes for different folks. I don't think I'd add DHCP to my environment unless I was running low on addresses. I guess it's all what you get used to and what works for you with the most ease. Thanks for all the input and have a great day. Howard -- Howard Passman Sorry slow to respond.
