Like it, this thread has turned into an IP masterclass ;) Why not just set address reservations in your DHCP setup, most new routers support this, just add the MAC address of the network card and each time it asks for an IP address the router will return the same IP address linked to the MAC. Therefore you cover both static and dynamic allocation requirements!
Also set your reservation lease times to weeks and it will pretty much have the same affect. On another note, a dedicated server is always the way to go, behind a router with a hardware firewall built in, then you dont need a software firewall or antivirus crippling the machine into the floor. Most viri come via email or from web browsing therefore if you have a dedicated server its highly unlikely it will ever get affected.
