If it's your DHCP, just make sure the lease expiration is long enough
so that your systems won't lose their IP if they are shut-down for a
period of time.

Also, if a system ever picks up the IP of another system you have
SSH'd in to, you will get an error about the keys not matching and you
will not be able to connect.

You will have to edit your known_hosts and take out the offender.
