You reap the reward for an unplanned (not well managed ?) network.

You may want to consider reserved leases. These act like normal 
leases, but cannot be re-allocated to another client.
So you get the benefit of having a "fixed" address for a client, but 
also the advantages of following the normal lease lifecycle (so DNS 
updates work for example).
