Not necessarily, though it is preferable to have this.  You can specify
the entire range, and then add a static IP line for all servers.  These
static IPs can lie within the range.  Whenever the DHCP server receives a
request from one of these machines, it assigns from that particular
machine's preferred static IPs.

This is a problem only if the client is switched on before the server.
