Yeah, seriously, have the DHCP server hand out a "static" IP based on
the DHCP Client ID that the workstation sends in the initial DHCP
request.  Can even have DHCP pass the desired hostname of the machine to
the DHCP server, which DHCP will then forward to the DNS server and
you'll magically have a stable DNS name for your machine too even though
the address might change.
