Switching to dnsmasq will make a lot of stuff easier for you in the end. 
  You can still map IP to MACs so DHCP assignments end up being static. 
  You can also send all of the optional DHCP assignments to different 
clients on a per client basis (using packet tagging) which means you can 
do things like auto-configure proxy services via the DHCP options 
headers.  Plus it's only one program to maintain instead of two. :)
