See my earlier post on the host file for the Macs... Basically, you can
use it but they have to be FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Names) that
actually exist on a DNS server. If you have an internal DNS server,
before you hit the firewall, great. If you need static IP addresses, just
do reservations on the DHCP hosts. They probably they tell you you need
static addresses because all traffic is hitting the firewall and then
going out with a single IP address, then when it comes back to the
firewall, the firewall needs to know whom to serve that request to, so if
you've changed addresses and don't have a host name, it won't know whom
to give it to.
Your best bet is to probably reserve those addresses on the DHCP server...
