 There are two solutions to that - most (if not all) DHCP servers
can be configured to assign an IP address to a MAC address thus pinning the
IP address for a server. Alternatively most (if not all) routers with both
DHCP and DNS servers have sufficient integration that a DHCP client can
supply a hostname and the DHCP server will update the DNS when it issues an
IP address. Usually on the client side all you have to do is set a hostname.

 I do the former at home, at work the latter is set up. One day I'll
get round to RTFMing for long enough to set it up at home.
