I'm way outside the debate here, but I run a FreeBSD 6 server with
isc-dhcpd3-server from ports, and it does exactly what you say you want.
I've been using a single system to build a new system image to deploy to
our 450 workstations, and every time I re-image, wipe & reinstall, etc,
dhcpd gives the machine the same IP it had before. We're talking clean
registry, here, so there's no existing lease for the machine to ask for.
This is just the most recent example - since I run Windows on my home
systems too, I often have to wipe & reinstall, and always get the same
IP (provided I haven't changed network cards - ie, MAC addresses).
Just my observations...
