You could enter those devices and addresses into your DNS zone, then a

Reservations is how we've done it here. Helps you segregate your addresses and also ensure that a device will always be at a certain address.

In an Active Directory environment like yours, you should be able to use the -a option on Ping to get the name of the unit.
