With Linux you can - don't configure any dynamic ranges, and tie each IP 
down with a host declaration.  In NT/win2k, you could try reserving all 
your IP addresses to specific MAC addresses, so there's none free for 
anyone else.  You can define the scope bigger than you need, fill in the 
reservations, then exclude the rest of the range.
