Like my tivo?
  host tivo {
    hardware ethernet 00:11:d9:0b:c3:a4;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.144;
  }

Or other appliance devices?
  host wii {
    hardware ethernet 00:1f:32:73:c6:a7;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.153;
  }

  host printer {
    hardware ethernet 00:1b:a9:22:21:89;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.10;
  }

Personally I have my own config file:
  MACHINE 10.0.0.10   ; 00:1b:a9:22:21:89 ; printer        ; Brother MFC-9120CN
  MACHINE 10.0.0.144  ;!00:11:d9:0b:c3:a4 ; tivo           ; TiVo
  MACHINE 10.0.0.153  ;!00:1f:32:73:c6:a7 ; wii            ;

begins with !) and IPv6 rDNS values.

  % ping tivo
  PING tivo (10.0.0.144) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from tivo (10.0.0.144): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.08 ms
  64 bytes from tivo (10.0.0.144): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.505 ms
  ^C

  % ping6 printer
  PING printer(printer) 56 data bytes
  64 bytes from printer: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.09 ms
  64 bytes from printer: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.370 ms
  ^C

I use a CentOS machine as my dhcp server.  The same can be done on most
SOHO routers via the admin GUI.
