Not quite - what you don't want is a *dynamic* IP address. There's no problem with using DHCP for managing the allocation of fixed IPs - most of the Linux machines at work are configured that way, because there's no per-machine configuration needed... just install a standard image onto 40 machines, and register the MACs with the DHCP server.
