Bryan:

Your way better off to use DNS to keep those addresses and assign them names as appropriate. Only refer to the device with the DNS name in the network. That way when you change the IP address of a printer for instance, you change the DNS and everyone still has access to it.

Your IBM i has a wonderful DNS server that does a great job, and since it is the one server that is almost never down, it makes sense.
