Well, Large Reservations in DHCP may be commonplace, and we use it... but I'd like to drop it like a hot brick.
I'd be happy to use multiple dhcp servers, but support becomes a pain if you cannot find a computer's IP address. Netbios names are not always what you expect them to be. Basically, I think what I want is a good up-to-the-moment inventory system. Kurt Buff on this list mentioned NetDisco and Arpwatch... I may take a look at those.
