Static though DHCP? Do you mean a DHCP Reservation?

My static machines retain their hostname and fully qualified domain name as they ignore DHCP totally. They have static enteries in my DNS.

My work machine has a work hostname and FQDN. Work's machine is not in my DNS, so it uses DHCP and it retains it's hostname, but is placed in the domain of the DHCP server, not work's. Once it's in my domain, DNS know where it is and I can access it via it's hostname or FQDN.

Does this help?
