If you really need to have the same IP for a lot of machines, then it is a bit of work, but with DHCP reservations, you only need to keep the router updated. If you truly use static IP, then you have to manage both the router and the client. If you keep a range for DHCP for machines (like mobile devices) that don't care which IP they get, then you don't need to do anything.
