Agreed, you should be able to install nss-mdns and avahi on all your
machines and then use hostname.local addresses. I don't know how you
get Mac and Windows to play with this configuration (Mac at least
should be able to do it) and if there are non-pc devices that need to
be resolved then you do need to think about having a DHCP+DNS server
or giving those static-IPs for your network (which is not necessarily
a bad solution).
