SSL doesn't care about IP, only DNS name. SSH is a different beast entirely (and does care about IP, which means some things are uglier than they should be). DHCP is not incompatable with stable IP assignments. I always used static mappings in my DHCP servers (you need at least two, for redundancy) to make sure hosts (which use DHCP) had fixed IPs. It really makes things easier to automate.
