I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but I always set my DHCP server to hand out DHCP for 5 minutes. That way if I want to reconfigure the network I can make a change and in a few minutes everything is switched over. IT's also handy to see what clients are currently online, I just take a peek at who's got a DHCP lease.
