It makes it easy to control everything server-side, use dhcp on another
server (behaves as static yet is portable notebook), mitigate traffic by
IP with the router and still use host names on the LAN.  If the firewall
uses IP, you either have to have a static or the quasi static
reservation to poke through.

It is always interesting to learn other ways to do the same thing.
