My big push internally right now is to try and avoid custom install media. Previously we've had guys that basically invented a custom revisor and a custom livecd-creator for rhel3-5. This, while kewl, has been a big maintenance nightmare. Right now we just do a simple netboot iso. If your above suggestion doesn't work for us, then I might take this approach.
Note that I wasn't talking about custom install media, just a boot iso. A network install and kickstart file location, like Paul says, is definitely the way to go. A makefile in our kickstart cvs repo makes it trivial to update and deploy both the iso and the kickstart files when there are changes in either. Like you, at least for the time being, dhcp is not an option, in our distributed environment. And frankly, having done both, providing a target name and ip address at at the 'boot:' prompt is very easy, compared to dealing with mac addresses and dhcpd configurations, when you're wanting static assignments anyway.
