That's actually 41, not 50 addresses.

Just curious, do you have more clients than that, or is there some
other reason you don't want to fix their ip addresses?

My philosophy is that, unless you need to overcommit a pool of ip
addresses, it's better to set it up so that clients get a consistent
address.
