Svobi:

I think a scheme like yours could be a good idea
and I use one myself. I need to keep mine simple,
because I rarely need or want to re-configure anything.
It's hard to remember what I did last time.
------------------------------------------------------

192.168.123.001 - 010 DHCP for windows machine and sometimes laptops/wireless AP.
192.168.123.011 - 254 Static
192.168.123.254 SMC Router/firewall box with built-in printserver
192.168.123.253 Printserver for LaserJet
192.168.123.252 Printserver for tabloid ("B") size color inkjet
192.168.123.251 Reserved for future printserver
192.168.123.250 Reserved for future printserver

If I need more DHCP addresses, I'll start taking them out of the BOTTOM
of the Static range. I like the idea of having my printers on a static IP.
It seems like it might help to make troubleshooting easier. The Router had
to be on a static IP, so that set the pattern for the rest.

I set the wireless AP for DHCP passthrough, rather than fixed IP.
Most folks these days seems to expect to plug it in and have it
work, without any further fuss -- me included. So I set the fixed
hardware to Fixed IP and the moveable hardware to DHCP.
