Well actually first of all you didnt say "the client’s MAC address won’t
change and you’ve configured your DHCP server (in your modem config
interface) to assign a fixed IP address"

(and its not a modem config interface, its a router config interface)

And, secondly it doesnt have to be ouside your 'dynamic DHCP range'.

  The mere fact that a MAC address is assigned to it will stop it being
assigned dynamically to anything else.

Its all fairly academic. You still have st it up to be on a fixed IP
address and *mutatis mutandis* it makes little odds whether that is done
on the router or the Pi itself. It still isn't broadcast and so no one
knows where to find it unless you run a local name server OR everyone
has a common host table.
