   i didn't say all, but most routers do, and the dns functionality is a   
   bonus, not a requirement. it also doesn't require a reserved ip either.   
      
   the key is that setting a static ip is a very bad idea and *not* the   
   solution, something you even agree with, yet you argue anyway.   
      
   tl;dr - the ip address should be set via reserved dhcp in the router.
