Network Bottlenecks

[Steve McMaster]

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this is how I do DHCP reservations:

(excerpt from my /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file)

subnet 192.168.42.176 netmask 255.255.255.240
{
        option routers 192.168.42.177;

        host loremaster.citadel8.lan
        {
                hardware ethernet 00:0C:29:3C:EF:FC;
                fixed-address 192.168.42.178;
        }
}

Let me see if I understand your desired outcome:

Phone + DHCP = constant IP?

If that's what you're after, then it's fairly simple to add a host (MAC) 
specific stanza to /etc/dhcpd.conf to always hand out the same IP to 
that MAC.  I'm off-line ATM, and on my Mac lappy, so I can't look it up 
for you :(
