Just add the dns record and make a dhcp reservation.
Jim, there are a couple of few reasons why I wouldn't do it that way (though it would work as long as the machine was not a portable):
1) It's more work. Work smarter, not harder. ;)
2) It doesn't account for portable machines that move from network to network.
3) Could equate to more maintenance overhead & hassle down the road if he's moved to a new desk that's on a different subnet, or if the network administrator needs to reduce his broadcast domain and add a new subnet & IP range.
Just my $.02 but I tend to favor solutions that are more self-maintaining.
But you're right; using a dhcp reservation and setting a static DNS record would technically work.
