Servers and DHCP?

Hi all,

I have a couple of servers on the home network running Windows. I
have DHCPD and have included in the conf file to assign most ip
addresses staticly using the mac address of the server nic. I am just
wondering whether it is best to keep this as a failsafe, but manually
specify the ip address in the tcp/ip properties of the server? What
is the advantage of doing this?
