Sam, the dhcp server collects them for you.
Hook up new machine. After it boots it will have an entry in your dhcp leases file to complete with mac address, and machine name.
Edit dhcp config file and Copy copy paste paste, Done.
Tell user to re-boot and they have your newly assigned static IP reserved for them at the dhcp server.
Well, windoze users can reboot, linux users merely need a quick "rcnetwork restart" and they're good to go.
