    Both Microsoft's DHCP server & ISC's DHCP server support reserving
    addresses based on MAC address.

    For security it's pretty lame. Many NIC driver's for network cards
    allow a software assigned MAC address (this may be one way getting
    around calling the tech support for your cable modem if you change
    your NIC card).
