If I understand you... you want to use dhcp to assign effectively static
IPs based on disk instead of MAC address.
If clients and server are Linux, you may be able to use dhcp-client-identifier
to do that. I'm not sure, but I think you can specify in the client config
to pass that parameter, and then specify in the server config to key off of it
(instead of MAC address.) Assuming ISC dhcpd, look at manpages for dhcpd and
dhcpd.conf for more info.
Not sure how Linksys is a factor here, unless it's an appliance which
also acts as your dhcp server... in that case, the above is no help - sorry.
